[BC] Point-to-Multipoint EMCOMM

[Mark W. Croom]

I've got one site with a NOAA weather station--it's got a small natural gas 
powered generator for their circuits. Audio comes over dedicated telco lines 
so I presume they would keep working via the telco backup power.

I've never been on site when the genny's been running, though, so I don't 
know whether it is tested weekly or not.
