What you'll need Many online events require additional software beyond your Web browser. Most are free players that can be downloaded and installed on your computer. Here's a sampling.
CU-SeeMe
What you'll need: Although CU-SeeMe is adaptable to a wide range of
hardware and network connections, you'll need a well-equipped computer to
see fairly good full-motion video. If you only have the basics, an
economical computer and a regular dial-up connection, your video will be
slower and more jerky.
What you'll need: Software is currently available for Windows 95, Windows
NT, Windows 3.1, Macintosh, and Unix.
What you'll need: Software is currently available for Windows 95,
Windows
3.1, and Macintosh.
What you'll need: A computer with sound output capability and at least a
14.4 kilobit-per-second connection to the Net; sound quality vastly improves
with a 28.8 connection or higher. Players are available for Windows 95,
Windows NT, Windows 3.1, and Macintosh.
What you'll need: a Web browser that supports Shockwave, including
Internet
Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Emissary, and NetManage WebSurfer. Software
is available for Windows 95, Windows 3.1, 68K Macintosh, and Power
Macintosh.
What you'll need: For optimal quality, you'll want an ISDN or better
connection. If your network link is a regular dial-up modem
connection, the pictures are more like tiny slide shows than television.
Players are available for Windows 95, Windows 3.1, Windows NT, and Power
Macintosh.
