ABSTRACT:
The conference manager of a conferencing application is provided with an enhanced connect function for connecting the PC conferencing system to other PC conferencing systems. The connect function includes a common connect dialog box and associated logic for assisting the user in formulating the connect address to be used in attempting the connection. The common dialog box and its associated logic facilitate formulation of the connect address in at least an enter and a select mode. Under either the enter or the select mode, the user is provided with a list of validated transport types supported by the PC conferencing system. Under the enter mode, the user enters a connection number and selects a transport type from the validated transport types. Under the select mode, the user enters a desired callee name, and in response, a list of connection numbers of a matched addressee is further returned, and one of the returned connection numbers as well as one of the supported transport types are automatically selected for the user if one of a number of predetermined conditions is met.
