support a cloud-based / hosted telephony solution. If it isn't ready, steps needed
to get it "up to speed" must be determined.
Be sure to do the test from a PC on your network at a time of peak usage. Be patient
and wait for all the results.

Read to the end for the answer to a question you have asked since childhood.
What's the scoop on Ground Hog Day?
February 2nd, Ground Hog Day, falls halfway between the winter solstice (shortest
day of the year) and the spring equinox. That day has been important throughout
history. The Celts celebrated Imbolc, a pagan festival of lights marking the beginning
of spring. Imbolc evolved into Candlemas as Christianity spread through Europe.
Candlemas commemorates the ritual purification of Mary 40 days after the birth of
her child and the presentation of Jesus at the temple in Jerusalem. Some Christians
believed that a sunny Candlemas meant there would be 40 more days of cold and snow.
Germans considered the day to be sunny only if badgers and other animals saw their
own shadows.

Fun Phone Facts…
Today's Internet is like 18th Century Technology
Alexander Graham Bell's work on the harmonic telegraph led to the first patent for
the telephone on March 7, 1876. Samuel Morse's first telegraph line was completed
in 1843. Much earlier in the 1790's, a visual telegraph system called a semaphore
was used to convey messages over long distances.
The semaphore system was invented during the French Revolution when it was imperative
for the government to quickly communicate orders to the military. Some sources
claim it was begun as a method for Claude Chappe and one of his brothers to communicate
between two seminaries each was attending. The first documented message was sent
on March 2, 1791 over a distance of 10 miles. It read in French: "If you succeed,
you will soon bask in glory."
