Don,

As I mentioned in my response yesterday, I'm unaware of a more accessible
or more applicable alternative. Greg Kraus did mention that you can still
use Elluminate as a standalone product, which I did not know. I've used
Elluminate in the past and found it quite accessible though IIRC it runs on
Java and so JAWS users would need JAB, etc.

There's also the issue of reliability. Total number of users online so far
has been 160. Any other "accessible" alternatives I'm aware of are able of
handling that many people over VOIP reliably.

Based on the success of today's event, its a definite that we'll be doing
this again. If anyone on this list wants to toss out ideas for a more
accessible alternative that can handle close to 200 people at a time, I'm
excited to hear about it
