The use of video conferencing technology has become common in facilitating
meetings by HEP collaborators at remote institutions. Modest start-up costs
have made packet video conferencing using public domain tools (sdr, rat, vic,
wb) very popular for those using Unix workstations. The shift in the desktop
computer environment of researchers from a Unix workstation to a PC (running
Windows® or Linux®) necessitates revisiting the use of packet tools.
The UCL Networked Multimedia Research Group has done an excellent job in
porting the tools to PC's, improving the tool software and in providing user
documentation. However, that documentation won't help in dealing with PC
system software and hardware problems. This paper addresses some of the less
obvious but troublesome things that users encounter when configuring a PC for
use with the packet tools. It also provides suggestions about hardware known
to work with PC's, and some cautions about components that won't work and why.
It is intended as a roadmap to configuring a PC to successfully use with the
packet video/audio tools.
