VTC 101

[MACC the AVCOtek]

Does anyone know a good resource for the lay-person (read: salespeople :) ) to learn the basics of videoconferencing? Nothing too technical.... I want to educate the sales-folk here at my company so they can (theoretically) talk about and sell VTC more effectively.

Mahalo, in advance!
