Hmmm, a document from 1995? Good background reading, but a little 
outdated in its technology references.

You can find some more current info on collaborative meeting technologies

One I've heard good things about is WebEx from ActiveTouch:

Don't forget that we're all at this very moment using one of the oldest, 
best-established internet collaboration technologies to date: E-mail and 
mailing list software! Don't take them for granted. What would you do if 
somebody took away your e-mail tomorrow? It does spark a deeper question: 
How are CoHo groups, established and in development, using e-mail 
internally and externally? (don't forget to change the subject line if 
you reply on that topic)
