Another way todo "conferencing" (same time different hosts) without
"cgi-bin" stuff is described briefly under:
http://www.eit.com/software/mosaic/shared-mosaic.html
The current version of shared-mosaic requires patching of Mosaic
sources, however can also be done without patching, namely via the
CCI stuff. This conferencing model currently supports a live,
interactive but view-only session.
I apologize in advance if my definition of "conferencing" is different
from yours. Few beta binaries are however available at:
ftp://ftp.eit.com/pub/share/mosaic/beta/*
This work is currently in progress, therefore if something breaks
please feel free to report problems to me, i'll be happy to work with
you.
No flames, please.
