[Ekiga-list] Ekiga.net VOIP conference server info
Is there a web page or faq that lists the characteristics of the ekiga.net VOIP conference server? https://www.ekiga.net/index.php?page=services If not, will you please tell me: 1) Who owns it? 2) who manages it? 3) where is the hw? 4) what general & special purpose hw does it use? 5) what sw does it run? 6) what is its network connectivity? 6b) what is the maximum conference participants it can handle 6c) can it now, or will it in the future, handle video conferencing? 7) What issues should one be aware of in attempting to create a global conference? Ex: USA & India? 7b) to ensure acceptable quality from multi continents, what can be done? Including, network providers with good VOIP quality TOS?
