This is funny! For years I've been advocating that people hold
meetings on the net with MUDs, and now I am in the position of arguing
against using them! I suggest you check out 'ytalk' if there are only
a few participants. My one experience with it was quite positive. The
reason for this is that if you use a MUD, you need to learn commands;
with ytalk you just....talk.
