Title :

Abstract :
Research at the author´s university has identified that communication between users of workstations in an environment would be considerably enhanced if a real-time speech link was available in addition to `screen-share´ facilities. This paper investigates the problems of implementing a real-time interactive speech link by integrating the speech packets (PCM) within the data frames employed on commercially available LANs. This is a step towards remote tutoring in higher education
