The ``ingredients'' used in the first version of sniffle are listed
below, along with vendor information.
- IBM PC AT upgraded to 486 processor, 8 MB RAM.
- Bob Denny's WinHTTPD server. Runs only with
Windows 3.1, not Windows for Workgroups, 95, NT, etc..
http://www.city.net/win-httpd/.
- Analog Devices RTI-815. (617) 461-4111.
- Two Airpax K82231 stepper motors (obsolete). Similar
motors are available from the distributor, Sager Electronics,
(800) 724-37800. (Yes, that phone number is correct.)
- Two SAA 1027 controller chips for stepper motors. Also
available from Sager Electronics.
- Tektronix 222 digital oscilloscope. (800) 835-9433.
- Microsoft Visual Basic Professional Edition. The Professional
Edition is necessary because it contains a control for serial
communications which is not included in the Standard Edition.
Furthermore Bob Denny, the author of the WinHTTPD server,
recommends Visual Basic for cgi-win back-ends.
- WEBRTI.EXE, the Visual Basic executable at the heart of
the sniffle system.
- Macintosh PowerBook Duo 280c.
- Connectix QuickCam digital camera.
The CU-SeeMe system uses the same software for both client and server;
see the list of CU-SeeMe software packages below.
Netscape is recommended. The latest versions for a variety of
platforms are available at http://home.netscape.com/comprod/mirror/index.html.
CU-SeeMe clients are available for MS-Windows, Macintosh, and Power
Macintosh at http://cu-seeme.cornell.edu/get_cuseeme.html
An X-windows package called nv can allegedly receive CU-SeeMe
video, but we haven't been able to get this working yet. The nv
distribution is available at ftp://parcftp.xerox.com/pub/net-research/.
