I've heard of that but never actually seen it used, nor do I understand
the technical details at all well... I had the impression it was an
attempt at a true broadcast medium - only one packet goes out the 
server regardless how many clients there are.  I'd like to know how
they implemented that... but IPv6 is supposed to make it much easier.

Meanwhile cuseeme is the tried and true way to do video AFAIK.
