Abstract
A method and apparatus is provided that allows an enrolling computer to automatically log-in to a network or enroll into a conference. The enrolling computer includes participant agent code that is executed which automatically communicates with a central computer executing enroller agent code to allow the enrolling computer to enroll in a conference without user action. For example, if a conference is set up with a radio frequency remote link, a laptop computer having a radio frequency remote link can automatically enroll into the conference through the execution of the participant agent code and the communication between a central computer and the enrolling computer via the radio frequency remote links.
