[AG-TECH] ag2.2: pig vs. node proper

[Osland, CD (Chris)]

I'm replying to this before reading all subsequent mail, but can't
see any replies if the Subject: lines are consistent.

To the very best of my knowledge, the 'room node' scenario does not
mandate how many computers you use - different people have used
4 (the fourth being the control one for the echo canceller), 3
(as you noted), 2 (possibly display in one, everything else in the
other) and 1 (all in the one box).  We have room nodes in both 3
computer and 1 computer systems.

Cheers

Chris
