[AG-TECH] Nodes near Athens GA and Richmond VA

[Joseph Stone]

I have a general question about inquiries such as this:

   When do people ask if the participant can set up a personal node  
as an alternative to trying to find AG nodes at a site?  At some  
point, it may become necessary to work with an IT person to resolve  
installation or firewall issues anyway but this may be easier than  
finding a node on sites.  We've had less than 10% of our participants  
with nodes already and have found it easier to get them webcams,  
headsets / echo-cancelling audio, ...

Usually the first personal node sparks interest at the site to build  
a conference room class node.

What are your experiences?
