[DL] remote marshalling [possibly construeable as semi-OT]

["Nick Zachariasen" <zacharin@pluto.dsu.edu>]

O.K., I may have asked about this before, but I can't remember- so I'm going
to ask (possibly) again.  I'm looking to remotely marshal a Weird West
posse, and I was goingto do it with WebRPG and teleconferencing software (a
la NetMeeting, but using something that doesn't suck).  However, the problem
with programs like NetMeeting and ICUII are that they allow either only two
people to connect at a time n the case of the latter or that they allow
multiple connections, but sound (and, of lesser importance in this case,
video) can still only go between two users in the case of the former.  I've
found some software that claims to be able to have up to 8 people on at once
(it's called FireTalk), but you may have to be a member of Collegeclub.com
to use it- I don't know yet, as I haven't had a chance to test it out.  So,
to make a long post even longer, does anyone know of software that doesn't
have this sort of limitation?  I mean, I COULD use something like NetMeeting
(admittedly, the whiteboard feature is nice), but all of the players would
have to gather in the same location.  Any suggestions, O brothers and only
friends?
