That thing looks intense!! Probably alot more than what I need it for.. .

I've got a camera, I'm just looking for the best way for three to stay in close touch.

Ideally I would like to have : Live video, audio, chat box and/or a whiteboard. I'm hoping NetMeeting brings in some of these requests.. .

Thanks for the input though. I appriciate.

Jason.

Is it safe??

You know. . .I had opted for NetMeeting but my paranoid programmer wanted to be 100% sure it was confidential.. .understandably so.. . but, I also think NetMeeting IS safe No?? ? i saw lots of big names trusting the service, and yeah, it was free!! ! have you guys ever used it before. . .Is it all that it's cracked up to be?? ?

Do any of you have a webcam I could try it out with. . ..Neither of my partners own a cam yet. .

any body got time to hook up nEtty Net meeting with?? not right now though. .I gotta get me some Indian Food.

Think about it and let me know.

Now if you want the best webcam, here is an Axis 2100. It actually runs it's own Operating System(Linux) and has it's own IP address. Pretty easy to setup but a bit on the pricey side. It can be setup directly to an Ethernet network running TCP/IP where the camera is a web server on its own. You simply monitor what's going on in your web-browser - in astonishing 10 frames/second.

Ooh, yeah. Mines within Programs > Accessories > Communications > NetMeeting

This is all assuming they have Windows of course!

I'm pretty sure it comes with windows.

Start > Programs > NetMeeting

Yeah, I don't think you need to involve your website. You just all need to have a pc with internet connection, webcam & Netmeeting software installed and I think it's free.

Welcome to TWF!

Have you looked into Microsoft Netmeeting?
