Takeshi-

Hi, I don't know if you remember,

< ago.>>

but we exchanged e-mails and did some work
with Jo Lee, the PR manager at VocalTec when I was at VocalTec. Which
brings me to the topic at hand. I am currently with Telogy Networks, who
develop embedded software for Voice over IP. I just received some
information (I have enclosed the announcement below), and I was wondering
that since your work brought you very close to this application, and this
application was aided by Columbia, if you were involved in this.

Please let me know if you have any affiliation to this project because we
would like to add our know-how in voice over IP to this kind of project.

< the use of Internet telephony, since the audio is the essential
component of videoconferencing via Internet, and hence tele-learning and
tele-medicine.>>

Thanks and here is the announcement.

>We would like to announce the release of a multimedia
> conferencing tool
> for the Internet called MInT (Multimedia Internet Terminal) which
was
> developed
> in the USMInT Project sponsored by the German research Network
(DFN)
> and in cooperation with the Columbia University
> MInT is a flexible multimedia tool set that allows the
> establishment and control of multimedia sessions across the
> Internet. The system architecture is fully distributed, with
> no central components.

> MInT offers the following features:
> o Audio transmission and reception for qualities ranging from
> GSM up to CD based on the NeVoT and VAT tools
> o Video transmission and reception based on VIC
> o An integrated conference control instance that hides
> the complexities of the single tools
> o floor control
> o voting based on MPoll
> o interface to SDR
> o RSVP reservation capabilities for all used applications
> o Adaptive video transmission
> o Joint viewing and remote control of postscript documents
> o Invitation of remote users based on the Session initiation
> protocol (SIP) with Email resolution capabilities
>
> MInT is available for Solaris and Linux
> For more information and free download please take a look at
> http://www.fokus.gmd.de/glone/products/mint

< I just visited this web -- it seems better than CU-SEEME. It is free so
that you may try it!!>>

< Thanks again for this valuable info.>>
