[AG-TECH] VideoPresence and Unicast: looking for a VIC replacement when bridged

[Fabrizio.Berdondini at prototipo.it]

Hello Rhys and all,
we were running VIC and VP at the same time, however, as far as now, we 
are no more much concerned with the use of the VideoPresence service, as 
our infrastructure requires the use of an unicast bridge when outside our 
LAN. 
We are still looking for some info about services/modifyed VICs that would 
allow us to have a "full screen" visualization of the streams.
Thank you for help,
Faber B.
