I do all of the above using the current Unity. We have a web-meeting app
using unity:
* Every time a user draws with a pen on the whiteboard, the flash-based
Whiteboard class sends a message to the Java-based Whiteboard class on the
server, which then sends it to all the other users
* When a user logs out, their name dissappears from everyone else's screen,
and they get a notification as well. This can easily be checked from the
server as well.

You can do quite advanced things if you are willing to write your own Java
code on the server.
