But one can learn to use the white board. This is what our participation could look like. The location would influence the way this is used. This is the main location at first. It can use the MBone both for informal and formal commmunication.
Informal communication means that mathematicians interact in a private session.
We need two stations to learn how to use the MBone inside our domain, so as not to create traffic on the global MBone. This would be for formal sessions. The project is too expensive to implement all at once. This would now be modified to be a Pentium-Pro machine on a movable cart for temporary installation in several places, as we test out the feasibility of the location, and get our colleagues hooked on this opportunity to communicate with their colleagues on the coasts. There should be one in the chair's office, for example, to insure privacy.
