Is there an Ethernet connection in the Conference Room? We just had a discussion
of TV Tuner cards, I'd expect there must be some sort of video capture and replay
(a/k/a video conferencing?) software that runs under Linux? We've got two or
three days, what's the problem? :-)
BTW, I have a fancy video card (Raffles?) that came in the home PC, haven't tried
it with Linux but if it will help I can make it available. Doubt I can spend any
time on the project though, at least not before Friday. I'd suggest we consider
the hard-cabled VCR setup the design center, and the video conference software a
dark horse to be investigated as/if time permits, what do others think?

PS - if it comes down to stringing fifty feet of coax, we were talking about
paperclips and duct tape Monday nite, for this one I'd start by trying to suspend
it from the drop ceiling with paper clips rather than running it over the
ceiling...
PPS - we still might want to string 50' of ethernet even if we do the video
conferencing just to keep it on a private segment.
