I have offered on more than one occasion at the Plenary, to pay a "remote attendance" fee. This would be used to: - fund camera setups in all rooms - fund Real or other non-multicast-dependent access - provide for email or IRC feedback channel(s) to each room I have to wonder if the real time aspect appears never to be used because it's not usable. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Senie [EMAIL PROTECTED] Amaranth Networks Inc. http://www.amaranth.com
