You could do that.  I was refering to the meetings I've seen on the MBone 
where a dark human like figure appears in silhouette in front of an 
unreadable overhead projector beam.  I'd like to see improvements in the 
source.

Similarly, by noise I wasn't actually refering to "Managing the distributed 
MBone meeting" sorts of problems but rather the current state of the 
technology.  Splotches of missing audio and slow scan (and often missing 
frames) ofvideo make it very difficult for me to consider this current
incarnation of technology for transparently distributed meetings. I find 
myself just too distracted by these visible shortfalls in the technology.
