Re: [AG-TECH] Lobby for Polycom PVX for Apple and Unix/Linux (fwd)
Hi Andrew, dear All!
I think, the main goal of David was to encourage everybody needing
H.323 / SIP software clients on non-Windows platforms like Macs and
Linux to enter his personal needs for that on the Polycom web page:
http://eknowledge.polycom.com/media/Forms/Enhancement_Requests/FER_emailform.html
So the guys from PLCM or Tandberg or VCON etc. would finally notify that
comparing Windows to Mac / Linux installations in education & research
would give an almost equal distribution. May be 50%Windows, 35% Linux &
15% Macs, this is about the situation in the German Max-Planck-Society.
PVX is working fine, compatible with all hardware H.323 clients, so the
embedding in the AG world should be straightforward.

Windows only. I haven't actually seen it work - failed to run properly on
a Thinkpad I had - but I hear it outperformed appliances at the
Gigaconference last year - http://commons.internet2.edu/gigaconference)
Why post to ag-tech ? Well, on Westgrid we decided to equip rooms with
H.323 as well as AG as a backup or to talk to non-AG endpoints, and maybe
others have done the same ...
