Possibilities for joining the videoconference

There are two ways to follow the conference at long distance:

1. Videoconferencing:

   In this case you need videoconference equipment based on IP or ISDN. These devices will be connected in the Netherlands with a multi point control unit (MPC-unit). This will be managed by a Dutch firm named Talk & Vision.

   We need some information from you:

   1. What kind of videoconference system do you use?
   2. The connection is based on IP or ISDN?
   3. What is your IP or ISDN-number?
   4. Who is the contact person for the videoconference (name and e-mail address)?
   5. At what time will be this person available to test the video-connection with us?

   Please send your answers (Paul Dirckx) before September 23 because we need time to manage testing the systems.

   Our system is a Polycom VSX 7000 based on IP. We have also a VCON Cruiser based on IP and ISDN.
   The IP-number is 194. 26.12.34
   The ISDN-number is 0031 (0)40 2961951
   The systems are 24/7 available.

   On October 11, the ISDN-partners should connect to a number that they will receive from Talk & Vision. The other partners (IP-based) will be invited by Talk & Vision at the beginning of the conference.

2. Streaming video on the computer:

   You need a personal computer with a web-browser (for example: Internet Explorer).

   We will provide you with an IP-address. If you fill in this IP-address in the browser you are able to follow the conference on your screen.

   In this case it is not possible to ask any questions at the participants in Crete.

   If you want to ask something about the presentation you have to use a videoconference system.
