It is this simple:
1) Modify CUSeeMe to save and open a file containing an IP address and a
conference ID. This would be similar to the save sets that NCSA Telnet
does.
2) Add apple events to CUSeeMe so that another program (such as a
browser) can launch and command open.
3) Put the save set files on a web server with an appropriate mime type:
application/x-cuseeme .csm and configure the browser similarly.
There is already a precedent in an app for Windows that kludges a similar
solution called "Go CU-Seeme Go".
