These come as standard in the FreeBSD Ports collection, so you can compile them (including compiling the right versions of TCL/TK) with the following cd /usr/ports/mbone/vic make make install cd /usr/ports/mbone/vat make make install For video hardware, get a Bt848 or Bt878 capture card. Personally, I like Hauppauge WinTV cards, but there are many other makes, usually cheaper too. For audio, an ISA sound card which is MSS (microsoft sound system) compatible will give you full duplex support.
