Two options: 1. Webex service 2. Playstation3s This is going to sound weird, but... (this may not be a good solution for the two-screen requirement, but is good for general purpose VTC) Playstation3 with Logitech HD (or standard) videocam plus a monitor/TV. One of the least-advertised features of the PS3 is full multipoint VTC capabilities up to 7 participants. We use them for desk-to-desk and for some small conference rooms. You just all create separate PSN accounts, and put the accounts on each others' friend lists. Then you select "chat" and you're running. You need IP connectivity and that's about it. Standard disclaimers apply: I work for SCEA and if you buy a PS3, I might see $1e(-7) in salary or bonus. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
