It is used in my context as a teaching medium. The school my children attend ( Distance Education Tasmania) use it extensively for class and face to face learning for there remote and distance students. There are 2 versions of the client software Win32 and Mac. I have tried running the Win32 under Wine but the Java VM bombs out as there are specific WinFunctions Unix JRE cant handle. Using the Mac OS client Under Free BSD 6.2S may be the answer. But how? It appears that the jre is the issue. Any assistance would be appreciated. John
