Resolved Jerky (Slower) Frame Moment

I was having a constant problem when iSighting another person where my side would slow frame rates down to a crawl (although I had the faster IP). This solved it! I purchased it although it is made for multi-conferencing (which I have not used) as it did what I needed.

This product allowed my iChat running on a 17" PB 1.33GHz to transparently run a multi video chat without any problem. Work as expected.
Only works on certain ISP's

I've found that through testing on two different ISP's that it doesn't work on one of them. This could be a limitation of the one ISP (though bandwidth is certainly not a problem and the IT Dept. says they aren't limiting bandwidth or anything as such). Overall, it's a nice application but definitely try it before buying.
