    Rich,

    i believe voice integration for the multi-media conferencing stuff on
   various projects (DARTNET/ BBN et al) has been done - you might save
   some work in just getting voice in&out decently contacting
   casner@isi.edu...

   btw - does anyone know where a public domain voice 'talk' for sparcx?

We have a multimedia project going on here at SICS. It is a part of
MultiG where the "G" also stands for Gigabit, but that is another
story.

Yes, we have voice-talk running between SPARCs and soon also Macs wil
be able to join in. It is more that just "raw" voice-over-tcp as we
will keep the sound synchronized, ie a constant delay, no more, no
less. If we get out of sync, we will delay or speed up the sound a
bit. Usually you wont notice it.

In a couple of months we wil also have picturephonetalk running.

The voicetalk is a student project which will finish by 5 dec with a
(hopefully) nice report. By then I think we can ship the stuff as it
is to anybody interested. Beware though, the user interface is a bit
crude, comparable to normal "talk".

If you are interested, drop me a line, and I will happily send you the
report in beginning of december. You will also get the MultiG project
spec as a boon...
