Yes, I could receive multicast video and audio on Linux.  Using Mash
5.0b1, I could only receive multicast video on Windows NT 4.0.  I'm not
sure why vat didn't work on NT.

Note that I haven't been able to receive multicast video and audio from
outside for something like 3 weeks now, so we might have problems here
at Berkeley.  I can see SAP announcements fine, but I can't get
anything else from outside.  Therefore, you might have problems getting
multicast from us.

Mmmm, no, not with Mash.  I have Windows 2000/Netscape 6 set up, but I
haven't fiddled with Mash on 2000 yet.

Yes!  :)  Netscape 6 ships with just about zero predefined types.  You
have to enter all the Real types manually.  There are instructions on
the Real website.

Once you enter them one time, you can copy around the 'mimeTypes.rdf'
file in your 'Application Data\Mozilla\Users50\default\mumblejumble'
directory.  This speeds things up a lot when you're configuring several
machines.

Note that Netscape 6 and Shockwave don't work together yet.  It's
taking them forever to fix the incompatibility.
