<font size=3>There is already a meeting scheduled in Lucky Labrador for
something else, beginning at 12:30 CST that will still be going on at
that time. You need to pick another room.<br>

On monday 7-24-00, we hope to:<br>
<br>
1) test yet another telco backchannel option, in
search of<br>
the perfect telco bridge
provider,<br>
2) test Cisco's IPTV viewer/server software for use
in<br>
displaying MPEG animations over
multicast, and<br>
3) test a new VNC server.<br>
<br>
We will probably have to extend the normal cruising time from<br>
1:30 to 3:00 or so, to get all this in.<br>
<br>
We will have the telco backchannel numbers for you on the Lucky<br>
Labrador meeting point on the Waterfall Glenn MUD.<br>
<br>
!!! Remember we will meet in the "Lucky
Labrador" meeting point rather <br>
than the "Access Grid
hangout" on the MUD. !!!<br>
<br>
The IPTV viewer software is available for download through the University
<br>
of Oregon Video Lab and the Internet2 Networks Multicast Trial program at
<br>
<br>

<br>
The VNC server address will also be distributed over the MUD.<br>
<br>
The new VNC server will (we hope) be running on a box configured to
<br>
serve as a replacement for any one of the main node boxes. That is,
it<br>
includes dual 650MHz CPUs (440GX chipset, 256MB SDRAM), 2 WinTV
Model<br>
401 cards, a dual-headed Matrox G400, a single-headed Matrox G200,<br>
and a PCI 128. The idea is to use it in case of complete
failure<br>
of any one major node computer (display, video capture, or audio).<br>
(Thanks to Doug Johnson for the inspiration.) In the case of EITHER
<br>
display system or video capture system failure, we should be able
to<br>
limp along running either 2 projectors (in place of 3) or 2 cameras<br>
(in place of 4). If both systems fail, I suppose we can run 2
projectors<br>
and 1 camera within Win2k.<br>
