Abstract :
Teleconferencing has come a long way since its early days as little more than three-way calling services over the telephone. Today´s virtual meetings boil down to collaborative computing on desktops or laptop computers. Using the communications protocol of the Internet, today´s desktop conferencing can incorporate audio, video, shared documents and engineering drawings, whiteboard for diagrams, and/or text chat for meetings held in the relative comfort of an office
