I haven't looked at how much bandwidth is being used but my simple Comcast connection was quite sufficient.

WebHuddle creates a link that you can distribute to whomever you wish to join the "Huddle". They simply enter in the password and they are connected (if they have the Java plug-in installed).

I totally understand and appreciate your endeavor to bring these meetings to as many people as possible. With WebHuddle it is possible to use their server they have setup. I don't know that there are any limitations to it but it is currently free. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
