[AG-TECH] AG support of Polycomm

[Jeff Sale]

Gurcharan,

Thanks very much.  We appear to have our system up and running, but I'm not 
sure how best to test it.  I located a "Test Room" in the Virtual Venue but 
there were no active video streams besides mine.  Any suggestions would be 
greatly appreciated.

Jeff
