               The Standard Exchange Meet-Me program works
          essentially the same as the 1-800-Meet-Me Service,
          except that you elect to have the conference
          participants pay for the long distance charge from
          their location to the conference center. You distribute
          to all participants the date and time of the
          conference.  Callers call in at the appointed time, are
          connected to the appropriate channel, i.e.; live or
          listen-only mode, and then the organizer is billed at
          only 19 cents per minute, per participant.
          
               With all of these services, the sound quality is
          exceptional, because the bridging work is done at a
          central location.  Therefore, the customers do not lose
          sound quality which is a problem if attempting to
          conduct conference calls using in-house telephone
          systems.  And because of this feature, the audio tape
          records equal sound quality from all connections.
               Any of these services can be set up on a secured
          or unsecured basis.  If unsecured, the entire
          conference is monitored by an operator so as to be able
          to reconnect any callers who are lost or deal with any
          instructions that the chairperson elects to give to the
          operator.  For example, suppose through the course of a
          conference one of the participants suggests that Joe,
          in San Francisco, should be brought on line
          immediately.  The operator will not need any further
          instructions other than the phone number and the call
          will be placed to Joe and he'll be immediately placed
          on the system.  
               If however, you elect a secured line, then there
          is no audio monitoring, but the above scenario can
          still be accomplished because it's as simple as
          pressing "0" on the touch tone pad and the conference
          operator will be immediately signalled to pick up the
          phone and ask what can be done to help the chairperson. 
          This feature allows for reconnecting someone who has a
          bad line, or who somehow dropped out of the system and
          needs to be reconnected, or adding new callers.
               To arrange any of these services, simply call the
          BNC tele-conferencing center at 1-800-929-1700 and give
          the control number 48AD-0000.
               You may find that using tele-conferencing is a
          profitable business in itself, even if you don't get
          involved in long distance reselling.
