I plan to attend the shareholders meeting. I will drive (only 280 miles). Unless I know whom is attending and where they are staying for chat purposes, I will not leave Fort Worth until Monday morning. Otherwise, I probably will arrive in SA sometime Sunday.

Still not going to answer the questions, are you? Let me guess as to what most of the educated "data guys" would tell you. A great deal of the corporates' networks are still running as 10 Mbps Ethernet, some have been upgraded to a switched architecture, some haven't. These networks are already pretty overloaded as far as capacity goes even if they've migrated to a higher bandwidth setup. This is not necessarily due to a fair amount of the clients & servers being upgraded to faster machines but more due to the demand of the applications they're running. The IS people already have enough on their hands, the last thing they want is the addition of the total voice communications system including all the office intercom chatter appearing as additional packets in their already stressed network infrastructure. Go 'head, ask 'em.

I realize that after six months of evaluation they are moving to a small pilot but nobody wants to sacrifice commodity pricing and high-speed access for a slow, proprietary tangle of wire and glass. Had RACE arrived 10 years earlier with this product they might have stood a chance, but now is not the time to be building bridges to the 1970's. They have announced a sale to a PBX vendor and a tiny pilot project which took six months worth of convincing just to get them to try it for real. I am not encouraged by these lame developments. ipass.com dialogic.com vocaltec.com pulver.com concentric.com networkstelephony.com touchwave.com
