Overview  Starting last summer I have been assisting with the VoIP roll-out.  I am now back for another summer and have obtained a project that has the potential to be exciting and a learning experience, which enhances the working experience.  Learning does not stop when you leave the classroom, but picks up and becomes more [...]
