Abstract

A data call between at least two internetworked computers is established using a central server. Once the data call is in place, any types of data, information, or computer resources are shared between the two computers, regardless of protocol or data format, by creating a virtual server on one user's computer for serving the shared information simultaneously to both users as clients of the virtual server.
