Just to backup the MBONE feed statement jordan made about ISP's and
network providers, trying to get an MBONE here in kansas, usually results
in a 2 hours long phone chase between "network engineers" who have to be
told WHAT the MBONE is, then they have to check with their supreme on high
400K dollar a year bosses just to call you back and tell you that yes
indeed they do offer ISDN video conferencing. Which of course is not what
you originally asked for but it seems that is all they can comprehend.
You could slap a nice pretty GUI on all the config tools for mbone on unix
you want, but until you find a provider who carries MBONE feeds, let alone
even remotely knows what the MBONE is, it isnt going to do you much good.
I have tried sprint, mci, and feist here and not one engineer knew the
difference between the MBONE and a video conferencing ISDN solution.
No matter how many times you explain it etc..
I have given up trying to make use of the MBONE here.
Maybe ill just get one of those elite ISDN video conferencing feeds they
seem to know so much about :-)
