We've looked at this on and off for a couple years as a Wimba alternative.  We
need it to run on a linux server, and haven't yet been able to get a working
install.   Our director, Bruno Browning, has been in touch with their
programmers regarding some of the issues.  

I can get you more details if you're interested.
