Has anybody used the audio capabilities of the NeXT on IRC? How difficult would it be to redirect the byte stream from the microphone onto a channel and redirect the corresponding channel output to the D/A converter and the speaker? How would one 'escape' control codes recognized by IRC? Perhaps one could use a shift-in/shift-out sequence with byte stuffing? How about using the space bar as sort of a push-to-talk switch? Any ideas on the performance expected across the network? Anyone interested in discussing the questions mentioned with the goal of eventual implementation? I would like to suggest a dis-key conference on channel +NeXT for Tuesday, January 29th, at 1100 EST (0800 PST & 1600 GMT). Sigurd P.
