What is CUSeeMe/2 ?
CU-SeeMe is a video conferencing program originally developed for the
MacOs and the PC (Windows) platforms by Cornell University. It is a truely remarkable
technology . which let's you see/send live video transmissions over the internet.
Normally live video requires a very high bandwidth connection , but since
this only transmits differences between video frames and at a resolution of 160
x 120 , it will work with even a modest 14.4 kbps connection. The new color mode
works differently and uses an "industry standard" called M-JPEG to compress
the images .
So to see good quality images , you need a 28.8 kbps connection to the net.
It allows you to connect with friends and relatives all over the world
from your iving room. A picture is worth a thousand words , remember ? And you have
the chance of making new life time friends all over the world.
CUSeeMe/2 is the Os/2 version developed independently from Cornell with
a number of features not found in either the Windows or the MAC versions. The author
is developing this program in my sparetime and hence , there is no big company behind
this effort.
The Author
by himself
I work for a danish bank as a systems programmer with operating systems related
issues. I have 4 years experience with Os/2 and various IBM software such as LAN
Server, DCAF/2 , Communications Manager and IBM DB2/2. My main interest is programming
but I also enjoy working with computer communications protocols like : APPC, SNA,
Netbios, TCP/IP. I work with programming languages like : C++ , C , Rexx and a little
bit of Assembler.
I have a long experience supporting an IBM Lan Server RIPL installation. RIPL
is very much like a true networking computing setup , where OS/2 clients are booted
from a RIPL server across the network. The RIPL clients only contain DLL modules
and the SWAPPER.DAT. Everything else is loaded from a server. All neccesary configuration
files for a client (config.sys,protocol.ini,ibmlan.ini etc) are located on the RIPL server. This means that we can install
a new Os/2 client in less than 10 minutes. User desktops are kept on a LAN Server
and downloaded to the clients when they log on.
My employer has decided to migrate from Os/2 3.x to a Window NT 4.x setup. I
am therefore forced to concentrate my working efforts on Windows NT 4.x.
