I have MBone to my desk at work, and we send it to our dialups too, but the lossage makes it next to useless :-( We have multiple peers at MAE-East (I believe), but most of the traffic still seems to need to go through the west coast somewhere, and a lot of backbones are having cross-country congestion right now, which makes MBone next to worthless as there is enough packet loss to render even plain audio streams uninteligible.
