Multiserver meetings are ideal for:
Minimizing long-distance calls between major corporate locations. Users 
in a particular region can connect to their local conference servers, and the 
conference servers call each other over standard phone lines to form a 
multiserver meeting. This reduces the number of long distance calls 
required to connect the users.
Large conference calls (over 550 participants) that require more than one 
MeetingPlace 8112 or 8106 server.
