Greetings:

We also considering using Wimba in an online course for ESL learners; I 
believe the product fulfills many of our requirements since it is now 
available, has true voice threading and is not too heavy for dial up 
connections. Yet, although it has been very easy to incorporate into the 
site, we've had a couple of compatibility problems with macs. The initial 
reception amongst testers has been lukewarm but we'll see among a wider sample.
