Unfortunately, I'm kinda commited to NetMeeting. The problem is that I have friends with a mix of Windows and Linux machines. Between Netmeeting and Gnomemeeting, I should be able to get everyone connected.
So, I could try to find a Linux SIP client that looks and feels like MSN, or I can setup * to have H.323 support. Which is more difficult? As it is, * has some rather steep requirements, but nothing I can't get working. One question, though. Will * allow me to send/receive calls to my clients behind a NAT'ed firewall? My wife and I are behind a Linux firewall. It would be nice if * would act as a proxy to allow incoming connections. Otherwise, I have to also build a proxy. I've been interested in VoIP for some time and have looked at all of the other Open Source gatekeepers and such. * seems to be the most powerfull thing out there. I've excited about getting this working. It also helps that we're going VoIP at work. Once I demonstrate to my wife how cool this is, (will be?) I intend to get a telephony board and do Really Cool Things. (tm) Thanx, Mike Diehl.
