** Get CU-See-Me from an Internet search. Use their database of other sites
to connect to. I'd suggest 8 MB RAM for the 575. Buy Connectix QuickCams
for B/W video and audio. I'm not sure how the 14.4 modems will be with the
audio, they may chop the data stream. If so, get 28.8 V.34 modems. Running
CU-See-Me with Netscape 2 might push your 8 MB RAM limits, try allocating
as much RAM as possible to the programs from the Get Info box (Command-I).
