We use inexpensive webcams paired with old laptops and LiveMeeting to do our video conferencing in our conference rooms. All the video is 1:1 though. You can't monitor all the site's cameras at the same time, you can always see yourself in a small window, and choose which other site you want to view (just one at a time).

I also took at look at that Microsoft roundtable device online, anybody tried that out?

Then users can place IP, or ISDN calls, and connect via webcams with Cisco Video advantage. Up to 16 concurrent conferences, each with I believe 16 participants. Device does the rate matching among the different participants. But I don't believe this is truly what the OP is looking for. Steve you mentioned LiveMeeting - you know LiveMeeting supports video right? On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 3:31 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Whoops. Yep, H.323. Fingers working faster than the brain...

If it were me doing this (and it is, I just haven't gotten to it yet), I'd put the Polycom unit in a DMZ with it's own public IP address, and just open it up. Turn it off when not int use, and pay for the encryption license on both ends.
