I tried them briefly yesterday and seemed to interact reasonably with the unix version of the tools. see http://www-mash.cs.berkeley.edu/ > At this point, all I'm interested in is audio (we don't have cameras, > and aren't planning on getting any, although if there is a video chat > that works with both FreeBSD and Win95, please let me know!) at least for vic, video takes a lot of bw, too much for a modem connection. cheers luigi To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
