The conference server is a Macintosh application that broadcasts the messages it receives from participants in a multimedia conference to all the other participants in the conference. Connections can be made between the Conference Server and all the Conference Gateways in the system using the Apple Communications ToolBox. Connection Tools are available from Apple and other third parties to support connections using modems or Network with any of the following protocols: Serial, ISDN, X.25, ADSP, TCP/IP. Several conference servers can be linked to support very large conferences
On a Network you might use the ADSP connection tool to connect your Conference Gateway application with the Conference Server application. If you're dialing in you could make an ADSP connection over Apple's Remote AppleTalk. You could also make a serial or modem connection if desired.
