- in the summer of 1996.
-
- Windows 3.1 - Yes.
-
- Windows for Workgroups 3.11 - Yes.
-
- Windows NT - We've made no effort to make CU-SeeMe work with NT and have
- no plans to do so in the near future. A few users have managed to make
- it work though.
-
- OS/2 - We have no plans to support CU-SeeMe with OS/2.
-
- DOS - No.

- Winsock Stacks:
-
- The following winsock stacks have been found to work with CU-SeeMe:
-
- * Netmanag Chameleon
- * Trumpet
- * FTP Software's PCTCP
- * Microsoft's winsock stack
- * Microsoft's Windows '95 tcpip client
-
- The following winsock stacks have had problems:
-
- * Beame and Whiteside - does not work at all.
- * LWP - Lan WorkPlace for DOS - Many people have had problems. We
- received the following report about an IMPORTANT configuration detail
- required for CU-SeeMe. In the NET.CFG file you can specify the number
- of sockets for TCP and UDP. You must change this number to 30 or less
- in order for CU-SeeMe to work:
-
- tcp_sockets 30
- udp_sockets 30
- raw_sockets 1
-
- Let me know if this fix works for you. Rich Kennerly <rbk1@cornell.edu>.
- ***************************************************************************
- ***************************************************************************
- Sound Cards:
-
- The 'Internal Speaker Driver' will NOT work. Also, it NEVER will in the
- future for technical reasons.
-
- As far as I know, any sound card system will work with CU-SeeMe. We only
- use the low lever services and don't require anything special of the system.
- We use 8 kHz 8-bit format.
-
- However, full duplex audio is desireable so you can speak and listen
- simultaneously. The following cards are full duplex (according to reports)
- and have been reported to work with CU-SeeMe:
-
- * Pro Audio Spectrum
- * Gravis Ultrasound
- * Turtle Beach Tropez
- * Logitech MovieMan system
- * ASB 16 Audio System
- * Spectrum Office F/X
