In search of: a real-time shared drawing tool

I am working on my PhD research on the design of learning environments for
cooperative learning at a distance, which means that groups of three adult
learners are collaboratively working on a problem solving task. I want to
study the effects (on learning outcomes and processes) of supporting their
work with a tool for collaborative creation of drawings and schemes, 
additionally to communication through audio-conferencing.

What I need for this, is software that enables this collaborative drawing,
specifically:
- real-time interaction,
- a cursor on the screen for each participant (there are 3 of them),
- if possible: input from more than one person at the same moment.
I am searching for software that either does the whole thing, or that 
enables real-time work on (drawing) applications that may not be specially
designed for collaborative work.

For the research purpose, it does not have to bridge long distances. 
Implementations on a DOS/Windows or Macintosh environment are preferred 
(since that's what we have available here).

Is there someone out there who can help me?
Thanks in advance!
