NetMeeting 101 (2195 words) |
 | NetMeeting is a real-time communications tool from Microsoft that allows individuals to communicate in pairs or groups over the internet or intranet (an IP enabled LAN) using audio, video and data communication. |
| NetMeeting does not require a video camera to view callers (to send video a camera is required -- parallel port or USB cameras are the easiest to install but capture card based cameras work best - a review of cameras and guide to selection is on the hardware page) |
| It seems that NetMeeting, when used on a dial up line, depends on the ICMP protocol (the same one that is used by ping and traceroute programs) to assure a connection before it does its regular update to the ILS server (every 2 minutes apparently). |
| Desktop Conferencing with NetMeeting (794 words) |
| NetMeeting has been called the king of the hill for client-side collaborative computing on IP networks by Network Computing (http://www.nwc.com/911/911wgws13.html). |
| NetMeeting is a Windows-only application; however, it does run under Virtual PC on a Macintosh. |
| Although NetMeeting is the current state-of-the-art, much progress needs to be made before all its functions work together across modem connections. |
