This is an excellent suggestion (I've redirected the reply to
vsns-pps-technical). I have not used CU-SeeMe myself nor suggested it
for the course because I wasn't sure how portable it was nor how well the
infobahn holds up. My experience is that transatlantic communication at
ca 1400 GMT would be impossible - anyway it was running about 100 bps for
me today :-(

A word of caution. The course is an excellent place to try this
out, but make sure that you don't develop important material that is ONLY
available with this or other higher-tech technologies. Alternatively, if
it really is possible to run this on most common platforms, it's a very
important tool for the near future.

Best of luck. BTW we are thinking of making a video for of the
course and if we have material from yourselves that would be wonderful.
I'll explain why shortly :-)
