USD has conferencing software on Valhalla . To visit, type telnet valhalla.acusd.edu 4444 on the Unix command line. Our conferencing software is MOO . It provides a 'living space' in which to anchor the meeting. People 'go' places, and each place is a 'room'.
MOOs are generally text-only.
Valhalla MOO objects, people, and places can also 'point' to other parts of the Internet. This requires special software clients. Our Macintosh client will use Netscape or NCSA Mosaic to go out and get the Internet locations that the MOO objects point to. If you're using our client and you look at Thor in the MOO, for example, you'll see a picture of Thor along with the text-only description. The net is still a new place for publishing, and anyone can join in.
