Yes a reflector is a server, but it can be used to meet someone online = then
you can direct connect to them and drop the server. You might try = version
1.0, it worked although it was geared for low res low bandwidth.
Let me know what you find out, it's been a while since I used cuseeme = but I
had loads of fun with it. The servers were a riot, folks from all = over the
world would be on them chatting away and looking at each other = (imagine this
group). Anyway one night I'm on a server and this guy pops = on who looks
exactly like me but obviously in a different house. I'm = wondering "what the
heck" when he types "hey bro.." so I said "hi, how's = mom?" and it was all
downhill from there. <g> Kind of event that can get = you hooked on a piece of
software.

I fired up netmeeting last night and checked it out. It will do =
direct it appears, but its display could be a bit better. I found a = site
last night where one could download CUSeeMe version 3.12, which = requires
either a serial number or times out after 15 minutes, (current = versions
require use of chat servers and won't do direct). The site = also had version
1.0 which was the free version from when Cornell owned = it. The CUSeeMe
interface seems better than netmeeting, just from = screenshot looks.
Isn't a reflector just another name for connecting through someone =
else's server and not directly to each other?
I'll probably end up trying both Netmeeting 3, which is free, and the =
two CUSeeMe versions. Will let you know. Thanks,

were too high for dialup at that time.
