telephony

My mobile’s bat­tery is flat, so to call my mum to pick me up from the sta­tion, I’ve turned on my work laptop, con­nec­ted to Tel­stra NextG, con­nec­ted to VPN using my secure token, logged into Cisco IP Com­mu­nic­ator (which emu­lates the IP phones we have on our desks at work) and then made a call using that. That’s pretty cool (but not quite as cool as this).
