Hi,
 Is there a kindred sole out there who can possibly help me with advise on
ways to improve my video conferencing? At present I am using a system based
on an AMD 400, with 256mg RAM, and a 56 x 2 USRobotics Sportster Message
Plus modem. The software is Microsoft Net Meeting and the camera is a Cannon
digital video job as opposed to a proprietary WebCam. Along with a friend of
mine, who know about as much on the subject as I do, we're endeavouring to
set up a decent link that so far has eluded us. I'm reasonably confident
it's not the hardware, as at times we both get decent pictures of each
other, the down side being you have t sit as statuesque as a Praying Mantis
and talk out of the corner of your mouth otherwise the pixels get confused!
The audio though has never been anything other than, patchy on a good day to
picking up the phone when it's dire. Having tried tweaking all the features
in Net Meeting, all to no avail, I'm inclined to think it's is down to the
nature of Internet protocols sending data in packets as opposed to real
time, and/or the state of the telephone connection. Of course there's always
the possibility I'm talking completely out of my arse, but at least I have a
mate doing the same!

Any advice would be much appreciated. However, if you do respond I have a
Spam filter active and you'll need to include: Video, Conferencing, or Video
Conferencing, in the subject line.

Thanks in anticipation,
Geoff
