Any help would be much appreciated. Particularly where to even search for more
info or exact terminology to plug into google. ie. Broad brushstrokes would be
great.

I want to create a secure (.htaccess) web page with a low res video/audio conferencing
facility between two webcams to discuss clinical cases in an outback rural
hospital.

This such that any two people could plug in a compatible webcam and microphone
and through a Java applet or other be able to see themselves and the other
webcam on the page at once.

I realise the inherent difficulties with bandwidth and PC setup, but this would
be restricted to two users with fixed PC setup. I have funding for 30Gb/month
bandwidth on 512 ADSL to burn, but am not able to install any specific software
eg. Breeze onto the hosting server. Unfortunately the medical centre cannot
secure funding for dedicated Video Conferencing, until this pilot is
successful.

I am unsure of how to achieve this, eg. how to stream video and audio from
Webcam to other user and vice versa effectively. Please help a newbie, goes to a great cause...Thankyou.
