hi, i spoke with Vbrick recently and they let me know that they had a "special" price for Internet 2 institutions. E.g., Vbrick Kit 2 MPEG-2 (2) vbrick model 6200 encoder/decoder plus software (2) pixcam cameras and (2) microphones special price: $14,995. i think the list price for a single encoder/decoder box is about $5-6K (but don't quote me on that). [they also wanted me to give them a list of contacts at I2 sites--i declined...] -gurcharan ps i'd be happy to fax anyone the flyer they left me that spells all this out. --- Robert Olson wrote: At 02:11 PM 5/22/2001 -0500, Bill Nickless wrote: >Tim Ward of NWU mentioned vBrick on another email list.
