In particular, I heard about "conferences" on BITnet, but can't find anything in my (convoluted) archive-files on that ... I'd suspect that such *REAL-TIME* conference-software does not cope well across network-types, but it might be possible to get the respective parties all on machines on the same network, be that BITnet-hosts or other. thanks, ---Werner ps: multi-user TALK could even be useful if restricted to only one host as participants might be able to login remotely ... ------- werner@cs.utexas.edu / werner@astro.as.utexas.edu / werner@UTA3081.bitnet UUCP: uunet!cs.utexas.edu!werner OR ...!utastro!werner -------
