Tom, But only if you looking at your email...or have your email forwarded to a pager, etc...
We'd like to leave an AG room open and live at an APS beamline where people will be working on equipment and not necessarily looking at computers--or at least not the computers running the AG. If a collabarator wants checks in via the grid--the will see the guys working, but how do you remotely tap a guy on the shoulder to make him look up from his work to notice you? The phone works, of course, but a way to ring a bell and/or light up a strobe would be very usefull to us. Thanks!
