One answer to your first question would be to have each programmer
accessing the same server and same port, with each one logging onto
the server one after the other. This would require fairly tight time
coordination between programmers instead of relying on any ques taken
from the stream because of the delay.
As to taking live calls over the web, again I see no problems as long
as the host(s) utilize either additional telephone circuits or dsl
circuits from client PC's to server, which would allow them to use
their dial-up circuit simultaineously. If you are depending on dial-up
circuits and modems to send your streams to your server then I assume
you don't mind the constraints on audio quality and the lack of reli-
ability that such circuits offer. If you have the resources mentioned
above, taking calls live should be no problem. Again, you'll need to
ignore your stream (if you're accustomed to monitoring it in real time) just as broadcasters do when utilizing tape delay.

Good Luck
