I have a small dream. I would like to be able to "multicast" a web browser, assume netscape. Is there some way to do that? I and a number of students have laptops equipped with a multicast-capable wavelan PCMCIA card (wavelan is < 2mbit radio lan, think it is ethernet which is not surprising since it uses intel ethernet controllers). I imagine that we are sitting in a conference room (or maybe there are a 100 students in a lecture hall!), and one of us is giving a lecture or a presentation via netscape. Yeah, sure we should use an overhead projector or an Infocus system. Fine. Remember, we are nerds here. Since we are multicasting it ... wavelan can handle that no problem, especially since the cell size is somewhere between 300-800 feet. One can get close with nv since it can grab the X frame, but it only grabs it in one of its window sizes, which can not be sized. It also follows the cursor. Ideally I would like to be able to choose a window and then have the display engine resize it. Have I missed something obvious? regards, Jim Binkley jrb@cs.pdx.edu
