We now had all the hardware in
place and we were set to go. All we need was the software hat we were going
to use for the server and the client. After some research we deiced to
load Microsoft's Information Locator Server. The reason we chose this server
software is because all
the NetMeeting servers we found used ILS. We browsed around Microsoft's
web site and found a free version of ILS that was downloadable. We put
ILS on our server, but need application software run video and text conferencing.
Well of course we chose Microsoft NetMeeting because for one thing NetMeeting
uses ILS servers, and two it would run on NT. Again we fished around Microsoft's
webs site and found it for free. We installed all the need software on
all the PC's, including the drivers that were provided by Connectix for
the Quick Cams.
Now that we had all the hardware
and software in place, it was time to test the whole thing out.
