This just in from the Yahoo thread (thanks, just_another_lurker): oregonlive.com Thrustmaster changes its name to CenterSpan Communications Corp. Catchy, eh? Don't know where WeCanTalk fits in with that; you'd think with hardly any money coming in that they'd want to promote as few names as possible, but now I guess they get to spend PR on WeCanTalk, as well as PR for the new & memorable CenterSpam Communications Corp. -- Pete

[09-19-99 10:45 PM ET] intel©, CenterSpan Communications' iConference, H.323:In Perspective?- "Videoconferencing 2000: H.323's Year?" "...Will 2000 be the year that H.323 video delivery finally catches on for corporate training and distance education? Videoconferencing marketers have been claiming since 1997 that "this is the year sales of LAN-based video delivery systems really will take off!" But early adopters found that H.323 endpoints neither sounded good nor connected well--especially if they came from different manufacturers...We tested five native H.323 MCUs--server-based VideoServer Encounter NetServer 1.2.1, White Pine Software MeetingPoint 4.0, and PictureTel 330 NetConference MultiPoint Video Server Software; and rack-mounted Lucent Technologies MultiMedia Communications Exchange (MMCX) and RadVision MCU-323--at the University of Wisconsin... You've Come a Long Way, Baby Overall, we feel H.323 is nearly ready for prime time. Most of the manufacturers participate regularly in closed interoperability meetings. (There's one later this month in Hawaii, for example.) Known problems that we report here are under active investigation, and are likely to be resolved in new software releases early next year. By then, most systems will comply with H.323 version 2. We're confident that enterprise managers can begin to move from a "wait-and-see" stance to "buy-and-try" for pilot projects and feasibility studies..."
