becomes an option (it is Cisco's SIP based client if used with Cisco's Unified
Presence server). Microsoft and Sametime can also be linked in with 6.1
for video and audio (once again via CUPS).</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

Telephony?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>We as many other places are feeling the pinch of gas prices. as a
result we are looking at pushing Video across the agency to help in reducing
travel cost between sites. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>point to point Video telephony is a no brainer. but we are looking to
add conferencing. Which MCU would others recommend for conferencing
purposes?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't know if it's an option but we would also love to use it for our
H323 endpoints so we can continue to do our state wide conferencing but also be
able to use our VTA with it also. is this an option?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>
