[BC] IP STL

[Robert Meuser]

I have had good experiences with the audio TX communicator. $700 per end 
for software that will run on a pretty modest computer, like a 600 mhz 
pentium. I has the ability to operate with linear as well as mpeg audio. 
The software adjusts its buffering automatically based on network 
condition and can also function via ISDN.

We even ran it off a laptop in the middle of Manhattan via plain vanella 
WIFI and it worked quite well.

If you could get DSL lines with enough uplink speed, you could run 
linear audio and the network traffic would not likely be an issue if 
both DSL were from the same telco provider.

You can get a free slightly crippled demo version here:

Good Luck
