I'm pleased to announce the availability (for 'alpha testing') of "multikit": a new multicast session browser. As a special case, multikit implements a SDP browser; this can be used as an alternative to "sdr". (This is analogous to the way that Web browsers can also be used as FTP clients.) However, multikit also extends the SDP/SAP model in several ways - most notably: - directories are 'first-class' objects, and can be 'announced' just like any other session - sessions can have arbitrary attributes (not just the fixed set of attributes that were defined for SDP) - SDP's session bundling mechanism is generalized: Any arbitrary collection of sessions can be combined and announced as a single 'bundle' - a variety of 'announcement' protocols are possible. Different directories can use different protocols to share information. (The protocol for each directory is specified as an attribute of the directory.) multikit provides an extensible framework that can be used for experimenting with new multicast-based protocols (e.g., with differing degrees of reliability). It will, I hope, help to motivate new uses for the MBone, beyond the traditional audio/video applications. multikit is currently available for two platforms: Windows 95 (and NT), and FreeBSD Unix. (I can port the system to other versions of Unix if anyone wants to give me a guest account.) Note: This is free software, but please be aware that the current version is 'alpha' software. (However, I anticipate that future versions of multikit will also remain free for experimental and non-commercial use.) For more information about multikit - including downloading instructions - please see: http://www.lvn.com/multikit Ross.

On the other hand, Xinside does have have video extensions for X;however, I don't know if they support your chipset so check with them.
