About:
======
Internet Multimedia enables real-time voice and data over the Internet.
This includes the ability for two people to talk, to leave a voice message,
to view and illustrate a whiteboard, and to chat- all over a standard connection.
The program uses voice compression to enable real time conversations which
can be combined with chatting (text), and graphical interaction
(scribbling and sending captures screen images) thus creating a communication
medium of multiple media over the Internet (IMultimedia).
IRC support allows you to establish a connection with any other IMultimedia
user logged in to an IRC server. In other words, this allows you to talk /
Chat / Scribble with other people all over the world by just clicking on a
name from a list of users who have logged in to this service.
The following communications features are supported in this version:
- Chat: enables you to exchange short text messages with a remote user.
- Answering machine: enables you to leave a voice message on a remote host.
- Voice communications (telephone): Real-time Voice enables you to talk to
another person over the Internet and can be used in conjunction with
the other features.
- Scribble: multi-user drawing program you can use to sketch (scribble) an
organization chart, draw a diagram, and perform similar tasks. You can also
get a "snapshot" of an area of your screen and then paste it and send it to
a remote host.
To use the program, you must establish a connection over the Internet with
another user who is also using Internet Multimedia.
