[AG-TECH] Direction of communication with a Virtual Venue Server

[shudo at ni.aist.go.jp]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for your quick reply.
Now, I tried to use the TVS (https://vv2.mcs.anl.gov:9000/Venues/default)
again and succeeded to connect to it!

I cannot guess the reason why I couldn't achieve it.

Thanks,
