Yeow, I must have been asleep at the wheel on that one ... I never saw that advertised in "sd", of course I didn't have it up much yesterday. I guess I stand corrected :-) The Stones are going to have some small part of some concert next week broadcast on the MBONE; I think it's on the 18th or thereabouts. It will be re-broadcast several times in order to hit all the folks in all the time zones who might be interested. I'd far rather see an FSoL ISDN broadcast on the MBONE, however :-)

Some folks at NASA Lewis have set up a reflector to allow the MBONE feed of the NASA Shuttle flights to be unicast to CU-SeeMe hosts that are on the Internet; perhaps this is what you're interested in? The latest beta version of the "nv" video receiver/transmitter can be made to emit CU-SeeMe format video, but it's unlikely that many people will choose that format for MBONE transmissions, as there's too few people that could receive that format compared to native "nv" or some of the other more obscure video formats (like IVS, Telesia, etc.). I also think I heard that CU-SeeMe can receive MBONE audio - in receive-only mode that is - by "tuning in" to the right Multicast address/port ... Of course, you could run NetBSD on your PC and at some point (Van Jacobsen willing) there'll be a NetBSD port of the MBONE tools ... (NetBSD already is Multicast-capable, so it could get MBONE broadcasts.) Sorry for the non-IDM content :-) [ Followups to private mail or net.somewhere.else ] - Greg
