GatherTALK Final BETA 4 Full Version 

Features:
========
5 people conferencing using 28.8kbps modems 
GatherTalk supports up to 5 people conferencing using 28.8kbps modems and 3 people 
conferencing using even 14.4kbps modems. For Ethernet or ISDN connections, the number of 
people supported in conferencing can further increase. 

Private conferencing mode support 
GatherTalk uses parallel transfer mode in conferencing. It requires no intermediate 
conference servers for connections. Therefore, conferencing groups becomes independent 
of services provided by conference servers and private conferencing can be formed. 

Public chatroom support 
GatherTalk does support chatroom services by using HTTP protocol with CGI techniques. 
All Web servers are able to be a GatherTalk Server (GTalkS). An experimental GTalkS is 
set up at

Please download GatherTalk and take a try on it. 

Low delay Internet voice transmission 
GatherTalk offers direct connections with remotes in parallel form. No intermediate 
processing is required. It lowers the total time delay down to 72ms. 

Adaptive computation requirements 
GatherTalk checks your computing speed adaptively during connection time and adjust the 
computing capacity dynamically to fit your computer. GatherTalk supports minimum 
486DX2-66 CPUs. The faster the processor, the better is the voice quality. 

Adaptive transmission rates 
GatherTalk uses different transmission rates for different speeds of Internet 
connections and for different number of people connected. For higher bit rate 
transmission pathways, the transmission delay is shorter. 

Adaptive to transmission paths 
GatherTalk adapts to the robustness of the transmission paths and dynamically adjust the 
receive buffer size to produce the best reception quality.
