Interesting what you had to say about Net assistant.  We have not been
using Divace or Sony..Im' not even sure what they are...
but to accomplish the goal of allowing the instructor to monitor students
while they are recording, we are strongly considering using a program
called 'Net support'  The same company makes a program called 'Net School'
as well.  The program works along the same lines as VNC, though the two
way audio is excellent and allows the instructor to choose any workstation
in our lab, and listen or talk back to the student.

Another program I want to evaluate, but haven't had the time to do so, is
'Virtual Class' from Farstone.  Has anyone tried this out??
