We are looking at the possibility of using desktop video conferencing
technology as a means to improve the level of communications between
members of faculty and student teachers when they are out in the schools
doing "practice teaching". We want to test it out using basic ISDN service
between two sites in our city. Our local phone company indicates that we
have ISDN level access between the sites that we are interested in. They
will also provide the NP1 device as part of the monthly service charges for
the line.

We are initially looking at the Picture Tel PCS 50 versus the Intel
Proshare desktop products. We are interested in how many other
organizations are doing similiar types of things and what your experiences
have been with these or comparable products.

Thanks in advance for your responses
