You need access to a network that supports 15-30 mbps of multicast 
traffic - or you'll need to use a multicast tunnel that is located on a 
multicast enabled network (AG Bridge, rcBridge). In order to "meet" with 
others in the current AG community, you'll need access to a network that 
peers with the networks that other AG nodes use - certainly access to 
the Abilene backbone will get you connected to these folks 
(http://abilene.internet2.edu/).

When you install the AG software, it will take you through a process to 
"get" a certificate - first to make the request and then to retrieve the 
certificate, after ANL has "granted" it.
