This is the first time I post to this newsgroup, so I don't quite know
whether this group is the right place to ask, but allow me to ask one
question.
AT&T Bell Labs. installed a PC-based videoconferencing network which
allows users to conduct remote meetings, maximum five locations; it
would be installed on August 1990 according to "Communications Week",
July 23 1990, p.32. The article was rather digested and didn't supply
much of detailed technical aspects.
I would like to know the story more, and trying to find paper which
describes all about this new videoconferencing net. I tried "AT&T
technical journal" but I couldn't find it. If anyone in this newsgroup
is kind enough to supply ANY information on it, I would be very
grateful. Thank you very much.

In Europe, there is a "videoconferencing network" being run between
the telecommunications authorities. It uses dedicated studios and
2 Mbit/sec leased lines. Does not sound like what you were thinking of.
- no PCs involved.
(I do not know more than "I heard from a friend" - I am sure about the
2 Mbits, though)
