You are correct that the existing tools such as vic , vat, sdr are 
sufficient to kick off the project . Not sure when it is was posted
however a little while ago there was posting from the Berkeley group
about a "remote control" package for vic , vat and hopefully for sdr.

The 323 stack would be cool to have to appeal to the 28.8 modem crowd.

Now this sounds a like a cool project!  Anyone interested in taking
the lead on this one and start hammering out the overall approach?

If someone decides to take the lead , one of the thinks that I would
like to see done is to add an http link to the multimedia web page
at freebsd.org pointing to the main project web page.

	Cool,
	Amancio
