This whole "teleconference" thing is a useless and impractical idea, as
demonstrated by this reply. It will NEVER happen on the TI-85. And you can
quote me.
The problem, as I see it, is that either people don't know what they are
talking about, or they lose their sense of practicality. Ask yourself: "Can
this possibly fit in 28,000 bytes?" "What useful end will this achieve?"
"Will the neccesary hardware be inexpensive and easily assembled?" and so
on...
