4583.0. "Information Request for Canada" by POWDML::FRYE () Mon May 06 1996 12:32

	I just received and inquiry from a customer and would like to 
	give him appropriate phone numbers to help him out.  He is with 
	the Federal Goverment of Canada Transportation Safety Board.
	He wants to find out what products we have to do audio, and 
	eventually video conferencing over his network.  Evidently he 
	saw something on the internet that we have products in this 
	space and the only name he could come up with is someone who is 
	no longer here.

	I spent some time in CALOOK but could not come up with account 
	information.  These folks are already heavily invested in our
	products so there must be someone out there.  Or should I direct 
	him to a more techincal resourse?

	Thanks in advance,
	Norma Frye
	Digital Video Network (which was why he was directed to me!)

4583.2	Communiqu�	HERON::KAISER		`Tue May 07 1996 05:06`	6
	What you want is either freeware or else a third-party product, Communiqu�, which does videoconferencing among heterogeneous systems on a network. I don't know who manages it in Digital, but try one of the multimedia conferences or the Light and Sound group's web page to begin. ___Pete
4583.3	more on InSoft Communique	SAYER::ELMORE	through the looking glass	`Tue May 07 1996 16:37`	11
	Communiqu� is/was a product produced by InSoft in Mechanicsburg, PA. InSoft, Inc. was acquired by Netscape a few months ago. The old InSoft number is 717-730-9501 (don't know if it's still in service). By-the-way, Communique had a elegant architecture, did not require specialized hardware but would take advantage of it if present. Netscape supposedly is working on a product based on InSoft's work. --Steve
