Yes for Windows/Firefox. Polycom not bad. Required typing an IP
address, but if there are only a limited number of favorites they
can be put into the address book.<br>

Seemed a bit choppier. Clients connecting with consumer-market-type
products need to mute their mikes quickly after connecting. If not,
it is disruptive.<br>

Not as good, but not useless either.<br>

<div>Were you able to participate in the desktop sharing that we

Polycom: no<br>
Windows/Firefox: yes<br>
<br>
Seeing a remote desktop with Polycom seems to be a no-go. Recall we
did this before with the Polycom only with SeeVogh (bringing in
another system) and then with not-great resolution. Good desktop
sharing before required ReadyTalk, which also required firing up a
separate system and ReadyTalk did not enjoy universal participation.<br>
<br>
The big question here is whether remote people can actually read the
slides or is it only good for seeing "which slide are we on" and a
local image is needed to read content. Could not judge this from the
sharer point of view.<br>

I think the computer sharing definitely worked for those that had
it. Recall that Kei ask me to flip his slides when I fell asleep at
the wheel.<br>
