As expressed, I will really prefer to do it on an other machine especially
since now we enable to possibility to see all the video in the same time in
addition to the conventional modes (video selected or timer video), so after 2
to 3 connection the traffic could be significant. In the next release to be
announced in end of this month. You should be able to select to see N number
of video over the total.

Good question. We are currently designing this facility and you input will be
very important.
We may have 2 ways to handle it:
        o All "institutions" virtual venus will be server by the corresponding
VRVS/AG located at this specific Institution. So, when you access one of them
you go automatically to the corresponding gateway. The conventional ones will
be served by Argonne and/or I2
        o The user select the Gateway that he wants to be attached too and go
to the corresponding Venues
        o A combination of both
        o Any other idea ?

Thanks,
Philippe
