[AG-TECH] Bridging on TVS?

[Thomas D. Uram]

All correct, yes.  The bridge server is software that talks to venues to 
understand the need for bridges, and starts QuickBridge appropriately.  
There may be multiple run for a venue, and they should be identified by 
name and location, allowing a user to choose geographically.
