Don't miss the fact that you can search the whole faqomatic in various ways, including reviewing any recently-modified articles,
by using the [Search] menu at the foot of every faqomatic page.

Please note that stations intending to make use of this service MUST
have previously registered as users, and been issued with their own
"E.164 address". Unregistered H.323 guest sites cannot be called.
If there's some prospect of you using the service
(check their AUP) then I'd recommend registering at your earliest
convenience, and verifying that your configuration works,
rather than waiting till the last minute and risking disruption of an
ongoing session. See
H.323 and videoconferencing at ESnet for the details.

The Polycom PVX software appears to be a good choice for a software codec, although the licensing arrangements are somewhat baroque.
Both of these work only with Windows OSes.
For a group-sized facility there is no current recommendation,
due to lack of time and resources to investigate. Sorry.

This is the STOP PRESS area of the
PPNCG Information Pages, currently managed as a FAQ-O-Matic. For more details
of the faqomatic itself, see Introducing the PPNCG FAQ-O-Matic
This STOP PRESS page is intended to carry short items of topical relevance, with the newest items first. Contact details and links to other sources of information follow. |
We strongly recommend contacting your local network support as a first point of contact if there is any suspicion that your problem is a result of local network difficulties, both from a practical point of view and in accordance with the general JANET support policies.
The address to use for contacting the PPNCG about
active problems on the network is
hepgripe@rl.ac.uk: this will reach several members of the PPNCG who will try to address your problems.
General information about the JANET network is at http://www.ja.net
See http://www.dante.net/ for European network connections.
Tickets are circulated by email to list subscribers, and some campuses forward them to local network-trouble lists to which interested parties can subscribe.
An archive can be viewed (at time of writing) at http://www.mhs-relay.ac.uk/NOSC-tickets/++Subject_listing.html

is no longer available.
