more NetMetting and Sun Rays

     Last week I sent out some questions on this topic and got some good
responses. Many thanks to those that sent me information. I have some
more questions on this topic that I am hoping someone can help with.

     As a refresher, this is from my previous email:
We are in the process of adding Sun Ray thin clients to our
organiztion (we are still in the process of receiving hardware and
software). We will be adding the Sun Session server (for the Sun Ray's)

and a windows application server (with Citrix metaframe) to the
network. The current network already has numerous PC's.
      The PC's now use Microsoft's NetMeeting to do Video
Teleconferencing (VTC). From what I have read, if I install SunForum on

the Sun Session server, the Sun Ray's can VTC with individuals using
NetMeeting.

    I had a conversation with someone who was in a group that
experimented with the above set up about a year ago. He remembered
three things from the experiment:

1. After logging into the Microsoft Application Server from a Sun Ray,
NetMeeting on the Application Server did not work.
2. A user could call a NetMeeting user on a PC from a Sun Ray using
SunForum.
3. A user could not call a SunForum user on a Sun Ray from a PC using
NetMeeting.

     My questions are:
Can anyone verify/expand on these three items?
Can anyone give me an explanation as to "why" for numbers 1 and 3 above?

Thanks,
Greg
