Well, not really.  I am more speaking of a court room only setting where
there IS no phone.  Phones aren't non-existent, just not an option.  I
would like to go the route in the previous suggestion, but pushing
encryption I do not believe would fly.  The point here is really a
mitigation of risk.

If phones are not an option, what are your options?....Chances are good
that if phones are completely out your network will be as well.

Passwords in a disaster

        




I'm trying to get a consensus on what people think is the best solution
to sending a shared password or passphrase in a DR situation where
phones are not a viable option.  Any thoughts?
