If by commercial desktop video-conferencing you mean somethiong to
develop just that =8^) then there is a product from a company called Vista
Communication Instruments, Inc., who have implemented the H.261
videocompression standard on two ISA-bus (PC AT-bus) cards.

Call +358-0-460099 and ask to talk to Mr. Rolf Vainio 
or fax to +358-0-460610


If you want to communicate just locally in an Ethernet you could use a
similar product of a company called Bitfield Inc. who have H.261
compression and decompression on one ISA-bus card for LAN use...

Call +358-0-70018663 or fax +358-0-4552240


Both companies are in Helsinki, Finland... and offer their cards to OEM
producers who want to build their own desktop or other kind of
video-conferencing system... 

bye,
charles
