Does the old LBL vat tool still work on modern system? http://ee.lbl.gov/vat/ I haven't used it for 15 years or so but it worked back then. Also, the Robust Audio Tool (rat) might still work. Seems to need work to get it running on FreeBSD according to their website but it used to work on FreeBSD. Again, it was over ten years ago I used this. It seems to live here nowadays: http://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/nets/mmedia/wiki/RatWiki#RobustAudioToolRAT Quotes: RAT require no special features for point-to-point communication, just a network connection and a soundcard. For multiparty conferencing RAT uses IP multicast and therefore all participants must reside on a multicast capable network. ... RAT is a cross platform tool which is now available for Linux and WinXP. In the past it was also maintained for use a variety of operating systems including: FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX, NetBSD, Solaris, SunOS, and Windows 95/NT.
