- _Scheduled_ Audio and Data Conferencing
- 144 ports audio, unlimited data
- _Ad-Hoc_ Video (H.323/H.320) Conferencing
- 180 ports H.323
- Gateway for voice & ISDN video
- Streaming (Quicktime and REAL).
- Ad-Hoc meeting email _[“scheduler”](http://www-staff.es.net/~mikep/adhoc/schedumail.pl)_

## Drudge Work

- All video infrastructure is working at the latest code available
- MeetingPlace will be upgraded to latest code soon.
- ESnet home-grown registration pages will be modified for MeetingPlace

- Make all services GDS capable
- Discussion topic for Friday(?).
- Put H.239 in full-production

## Advanced Development/Testing

- Testing VoIP using MeetingPlace and Call Manager from Cisco
