Rich, i believe voice integration for the multi-media conferencing stuff on various projects (DARTNET/ BBN et al) has been done - you might save some work in just getting voice in&out decently contacting casner@isi.edu... btw - does anyone know where a public domain voice 'talk' for sparcx? We have a multimedia project going on here at SICS. It is a part of MultiG where the "G" also stands for Gigabit, but that is another story. Yes, we have voice-talk running between SPARCs and soon also Macs wil be able to join in. It is more that just "raw" voice-over-tcp as we will keep the sound synchronized, ie a constant delay, no more, no less. If we get out of sync, we will delay or speed up the sound a bit. Usually you wont notice it. In a couple of months we wil also have picturephonetalk running. The voicetalk is a student project which will finish by 5 dec with a (hopefully) nice report. By then I think we can ship the stuff as it is to anybody interested. Beware though, the user interface is a bit crude, comparable to normal "talk". If you are interested, drop me a line, and I will happily send you the report in beginning of december. You will also get the MultiG project spec as a boon... /hans -- Hans Eriksson (hans@sics.se) Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS), Box 1263, S-164 28 KISTA, Sweden Tel: +46 8 752 1527 Fax: +46 8 751 7230 Home: +46 8 32 68 97
