>My "vision" right now is to have some type of contact list (like what msn, yahoo, icq, etc etc etc has), and have users be able to broadcast/receive audio/video. Thing is I want the broadcasting to be able to broadcast to more than one other user at a time so people can do video conferences with more than just 2 people. I was hoping to find a coupla activex's or maybe use windows media streaming somehow to do it.

There is a company name Hawking that makes network cameras... And they provide and excellent ActiveX component for retrieving data from their cameras. Just specify the IP address of the camera and go, type deal. I had extremely good luck with them.

Below is a link to a URL for the product I used:

Hope that helps...
