You could have a look at the Open H323 stuff. http://www.openh323.org I suspect they are at the VOIP stage only. My 2c says that unless these people are rich and this is going to bring in big $$$, this is a piss-in-the-wind idea, meaning it aint going to happen. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't he going to need 128Mb ISDN for this to really work, i.e. videoconferencing. I'd suggest looking at some internet telephone stuff - this seems to be fairly common and will work on phone dial up. That has the voice taken care of. Then use a webcam and http server at either end. All they need to do is trade IPs when they connect, then their browser can download a picture a minute or something. This is far more realistic for the common users. -- Terry Collins {:-)}}} Ph(02) 4627 2186 Fax(02) 4628 7861 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.woa.com.au or [EMAIL PROTECTED] WOA Computer Services <lan/wan, linux/unix, novell> snail: PO Box 1047, Campbelltown, NSW 2560.
