for AG is about 10Mbps (see <a href="http://www.agsc.ja.net/faqs.php#Q4">http://www.agsc.ja.net/faqs.php#Q4</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>If your DSL link has less than this, you
will probably experience problems in meetings with more than one video stream.
A solution to this is to use an rcBridge (see <a
href="http://www.agsc.ja.net/services/rcbridge.php">http://www.agsc.ja.net/services/rcbridge.php</a>).
This will allow you to select which streams are received by your site up
to your bandwidth limit. However, this will also reduce your AG
experience, as you will not be able to view all participants at once.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

an interim solution to connect to SingAREN Internet 2, my network people here
