I am installing a new USB camera here shortly that is compatible with
OS 9.

It's primary purpose will be family digital photography.

The model can double as a web cam according to the specs. It is
equipped with USB and an NTSC output jack (for showing images on the
home TV screen).

There is no specific software that will come with it to do
conferencing.

I am seeking suggestions for video chat software that will allow me to
image conference, video, text, (audio if possible) that will run under
OS 9.2.2.

I've been looking at places such as MacOrchard and VersionTracker but
few are specific.

I understand iChat is OS X only??

Suggestions for solutions?

CuSeeMe (vChat on Mac OS X)

However, I have zero experience with it. I'm an iChat AV user.

I've done an exhaustive Google and Mac Software search and it looks
like CUSeeMe is about all that is available. The free Cornell Univ
version is out there but increasingly not supported. The paid version
of CUSeeMe by White Pine is a possibility of course I sippose.

I'm looking for something cross-platform capable.

It may be that Yahoo Messenger is about all as well.

<sigh>

I use CU-SeeMe with 9.2.2 Classic. I got it free from
http://www.kensington.com/html/1377.html#macvideo. The software is
bundled with the VideoCAMworks-1.20.sit.hqx file. If you do get in an
online conference with it be prepared for anything.

Ok I downloaded that but the CUSEEME version appears to be the
licensed version as opposed to the freeware Cornell version.

From what I can see you can use it as a DEMO for a while then have to
send the fee.
