> #1. I recently bought a spiffy new computer. I noticed that it is now
> quite hard to find an adequate VRML 2.0 compliant client that will work
> with VNET. Like, really hard. For a windows user there are no
> easy-to-find & easy-to-install clients, in EITHER Netscape Navigator
> 4.5+/ 6.0, or IE5, that support VNET. If I, as a veteran VRML user &
> programmer, have a hard time finding a client that does the job, it
> means that new users have no chance. This is a SERIOUS problem.
>
> #2. I have been following the discussion re. bandwidth & making vnet
> massively multiuser. I wonder if this approach to massively multiuser
> voice chat might help. Clearly VNET has some additional requirements
> beyond voice chat, and multicast might help (speakfreely also supports
> multicast), but it seems that the architechture described below might
> well apply to vnet. Miriam suggested something similar when she
> mentioned having the clients act as a server in some capacities.
