What is vat ? Well, is a voice audio conferencing tool used to broadcast ietf meetings world-wide and other happy broadcasters such as Nasa, etc.. There is also nv for broadcasting and receiving video -- the source is available however the *bsd camps don't have a driver for a frame grabber. I began placing a few calls to get a high performance frame grabber 8) On the linux side -- idt is working on a port of DOOM. Doom per-say is just an introduction to *real-time* virtual-reality for the PCs. Strictly speaking is not true virtual reality;however, Doom can be quite addictive, scary and a whole lot of fun listening to it with 3d sound coming out of Gravis Ultrasound card. Ala Doom: if you come back I will roast you!
