   Get a GUS or a PAS16 if you want vat to work....
   If you get a GUS , go to ftp.best.com:/pub/hasty and
   get sys-vat.tar.gz and vat.summary. Now the patches for the GUS
   and VAT are for FreeBSD-2.0 and you will have to hack around
   with the files.i386 to get a kernel to build. In essence, 
   replaces all the ../sound references in files.i386 with
   the sound files on the sys-vat files.i386. So far, only
   one person has not being able to get it to work or at least
   never got back to me if  got vat working .

	Try to get another FreeBSD box and see if you can get the
       ip multicast apps to talk to each other. For instance, nv
       has an X capture mode which allows you to send portions of
       your X screen out.

	I think by now most of them are tcl/tk based :)
