Notes
The default telecommunications software planned for this event is Skype.  All participants are encouraged to sign in earlier, play with the Echo Test utility, and make sure that they have the most current version installed and your hardware plays nice with Skype.

While a headset with attached microphone is the preferred rig, it is not a requirement but a suggestion for best audio performance.  Individual game hosts may have software requirements such as the ability to access other web sites such as virtual cork boards or table top software.  Each host will provide details if they are needed.

An IRC 'side channel' for general chatting and a lobby will also be set up.  Several 'test your connectivity' workshops is also planned before the convention.  See the MTMJ forum for more information on availability.  This really helps insure that people are getting Skype contact info and can access the IRC room.
