SIP in higher education

Greetings All,

I hope to get some help from the group.

Prior to setting up a proxy here and actively participating in sip.edu, I
am trying to get my user-side setup in order so that I do not have to deal
with it later.  I have a licensed copy of eyeBeam 1.1 - both a Windows
platform and on a Mac.  I have registered as 
.
The client (eyeBeam) _seems_ to be happy.

I believe that presence does not work as expected.  Is there any
non-intuitive setting that I should be aware of?
 Is there a user (real or fictional) who in online all of the time?  Is
anybody willing to try and call me?

Thanks -
John
