Did they get it to work? When they came and demo-ed to us, they had all 
sorts of problems. They were the weakest demo. Did you watch video over 
their network. There is a lag of about 2-3 seconds of the voice with the 
image - hard for language instruction. UMich who is their premier site 
shared that with us. 6 months ago they did not have this worked out.  You 
are right that they are totally digital and both Tandberg (now Sanako) and 
ASC are hybrids - with some digital and some proprietary components.

Principia has just completed an 18 month eval and installed in August and 
is up and running successfully. Please feel free to call for details. I 
would be delighted to share. If there is enough interest, I will set up an 
800# for a conference call, but one-on-one works well for me.
