I read somewhere that Insoft's Communique is a conferencing tool similar
to Sun's ShowMe. Does anyone have experience with Communique,
comparisons with ShowMe or HP's Shared X ? 

Does anyone have a contact address for Insoft ?

Many thanks for any help

As far as I know Communique handles full motion video and audio; which
ShowMe does not.

I have not used Communique...

Showme is specifically a shared shetckpad application.  Shared X
allows user to share entire X sessions.

I prefer a public domain sketckpad to ShowMe, called Wscrawl.
Wscrawl is written by Brian Wilson of Apple Computer in his
free time.

I have placed binaries and source code for Wscrawl on the
International AVS Center anonymous ftp site :

ftp 128.109.178.23 ( avs.ncsc.org )
anonymous
email
cd pub/wscrawl
ls :

sgi.wscrawl.Z			SGI binary
hp.wscrawl.Z			HP 700 binary
ibm.wscrawl.Z			IBM RS 6000 binary
wscrawl.shar.Z			Source Code
apple.wscrawl.Z			AUX binary
wscrawl_tech_paper.ps.Z		Paper on the sketchpad implementation
sun.wscrawl			Sun binary

Likewise, we prefer a public domain shared X utility called XTV -
I can provide more info on this if someone requests it as well.
XTV runs on many different platforms.  It is developed by
the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

I recently talked to John Altman the Southeast Region sales rep.
His phone number is 706 844 9643

Good luck-

Terry
