Jerry,

The Cornell versions of CUSeeMe cannot (presently) receive color
transmissions, only Enhanced CU, both Mac and PC, can receive color. This is
too bad because you can be waiting there until hell freezes over and all you
will see is a gray box. In the very least, there should be some message that
the video is unavailable because it is in color. Don't you think?

Cheers,
Dennis
