Thanks for your reply. I wouldn't expect more than half a dozen concurrent calls. Also, we can do the bridge with proxims if needed (not the model with a telco t1 broken out).
The reason I ask about the media converters is to save the trouble having to interface an * box to each Definity. Rich Adamson wrote: >>Please forgive the (almost?) OT post.
