Re: [xcbf] Teleconference Meeting

[John Larmouth <j.larmouth@salford.ac.uk>]

Both Paul Thorpe and myself have successfully hosted NetMeeting conferences.

I strongly recommend that instead of a teleconference.

It works well, is international, and is cheap.

A static IP address is desirable but not essential.  The IP address can 
be sent by e-mail or Chat near to the time of the meeting.

(My address is not static - but only changes when I re-boot).  Paul's 
*is* static.  I am sure he would be prepared to host the meeting.

Come in Paul?
