For about the last year or so, I've been developing a package for
sharing X clients among systems connected over the Internet, and some
of the same problems regarding person-to-person communications came up.

What I think is being missed here is that these type of tools are not
intended to completely handle _all_ communications among the
participants.  The package I developed provides communications for the
tools only, but not the participants.  That's to be taken care of
elsewhere.  The test bed for this mess is supposed to be a network of
conference rooms in North Carolina equipped with full video
teleconferencing (the conventional variety, no computers involved) and
a ring of T1 lines connecting the workstations, of which there is one
per room.

That type of setup provides a good environment for collaboration.
It's going to be a long time before we can put _everything_ on the
machines, since our networks don't have the bandwidth just yet.

Soon enough, though.
