Severs? We don't need no stinkin' servers! Use multicast! Seriously though, I'm not terribly familiar with all the functionality of netmeeting but at my first glance, it appeared to have taken quite a few hints from the MBone tools that Van Jacobson's group at LBL has been working on. You may want to take a look at: http://www-nrg.ee.lbl.gov/ We used their vic (video conference), vat (audio conference), wb (whiteboard), and sdr (session directory) quite extensively (when I was at LBL). Sharing applications though, I'm not sure about. wb can be used for static images and text but I haven't seen much enabling a group to collaborate on a spreadsheet or word processor document. But one never knows... I haven't been keeping up on the latest mbone developments. A good collection of pointers on all things MBone can also be found at: http://www-itg.lbl.gov/mbone/#reflinks Luck!
