Dear Anup, 7th Dec. 98 Yes, you can comfortably do videoconferencing using ISDN. In fact you could use three lines and get a throughput of 384 kbps. Thanks. Madhu

yeah... mtnl is bragging about this for months now. try to contact mtnl who will promptly install an isdn line (isdn lines are 'on demand') and send a huge bill which u have to foot. (and keep footing) good fullscreen video conference requires 3 such isdn lines, and huuuge bill. all u need is a lot of money to blow up and a big company to back it up. isdn moden, software, vsnl isdn account, camera and kit, isdn line and voila! sumeet

Bandwidth of the single ISDN line is 128 KB. Ideally for video conferencing the minimum bandwidth required is 384 KB. If you say "is it possible" then the answer is "yes" but you may not get good quality. Thanks Ajay

Hello, Yes, a 384 kbps is fine but you *CAN GET* good quality ISDN video conferencing capabilities on one BRI (128 kbps) connection. We demonstrated this with live during our seminar "Putting ISDN into Practice". It was done with the help of Mr Milind Sathe of Sonali Softwares. They are regularly using for their communication with NJ office. No doubt they had teething trouble but now it working smooth. If wish you may contact Milind at [email protected] Satish ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Satish Hulyalkar Consultant Pune/INDIA Ph: +91-212-530 597 Fx: +91-212-539 724 W.E.F. 15TH DEC AREA CODE FOR PUNE WILL BE *20* INSTEAD OF 212 mailto: mailto:[email protected] URL: http://members.tripod.com/~Satish_Hulyalkar

ISDN is 2B+D. Where B=64K. Giving you 2B = 64 x 2 K pipes and the D is used by the PTTs for the signalling and other diagonistics. Total bandwidth available to the user is 128K. Both 64 K pipes are to be "Fused", together to give you the advantage of 128 K pipe. Hope this gives a clearer picture. Best Regards Ali
