I am starting looking into NetMeeting too. From what I read it is a great
thing. I need to explore it more.

A few questions since I am new to it:

(1) You mentioned you will use NetMeeting along with other utilities. What
are the other utilities that are needed aside from NetMeeting?

(2) This is a more general personal opinion question: Do you think
telecommuting can serve the company well in respect of the kind of job that
most of us in this list are doing (design engineering)?

(3) From where I live, I may not be able to get Internet cable access in
the near future, do you know if NetMeeting video conference work well with
modem access?

Thanks!

Tony Pan

Microsoft netmeeting allows you to videoconference and show/give access
to running applications at the same time.  It is included with windows,
or you can download it for free from microsoft.

I've only played with it a little bit, but as my new job will allow me
to do the majority of my work off site I'm going to be using it and
several other utilities for remote management.  If you can't get
netmeeting to work well, you can use a program like VNC to view their
desktop and watch software, and most cameras come with some sort of
video conferencing to do that part.  Alternately you could forego viedo
and just do audio and the computer screen.  There are many audio
programs (such as the phone programs) which are free and do what you
want.

Anyway, I hope this helps.
