Actually, the whole system of network chat rooms, shared whiteboards, video conferencing, etc, is already well available using the MBONE tools, now if only most of us could get *on* the MBONE anymore. :( CRL, the ISP for Walnut Creek CDROM (and hence me), doesn't pass MBONE traffic anymore and this situation is mirrored for many other folks I know of. I also had access to SGI's "InPerson" teleconferencing software, to port to FreeBSD and distribute freely (in binary form), but I never had time to do anything with this and the deal sort of died on the vine. "Oh well." :( Jordan
