Jack Burston is putting the final touches on Digital Language Lab Solutions which includes a review of NSS along with several other digital solutions. You'll want to check it out when it's available. In the meantime, if you have specific questions about NSS, you can contact me. As for the audio portion... yes it works, and fairly well, for All Call and one-to-one (teacher/student) communications. Teachers can also just listen. Because the audio is over IP, there's a slight delay (latency). The majority of our instructors, however, don't even use that part (as we thought they might) but do use it to distribute and collect assignments, and to control what applications and websites can be used. Hope this helps... **************************************************** Read Gilgen Director L&S Learning Support Services University of Wisconsin - Madison (608) 262-1408 [log in to unmask] http://lss.wisc.edu >>> [log in to unmask] 4/12/2005 2:18:02 PM >>> --- Forwarded Message from "Daniel M.

Also, is anyone using NetSupportSchool in their language labs, and if so, do you have any feedback on its performance in the classroom? Specifically in NetSupportSchool, I am interested in its audio capability. Is it a reasonable software solution for a digital language lab classroom? Thanks for your help. Daniel M.
