[cisco-voip] Any MeetingPlace Users?

[Patrick Aland]

The usual "We're an authorized MP partner so obviously I'm not going to bad
mouth it" warning applies to my comments:

We've installed a few meetingplace installations so far and thus far clients
have been happy.
It has its quirks but all in all we've found it to be very capable.

I don't want to spam the list but if you need more info about hte system
feel free to contact me offlist.
