And almost all of them are cross platform. I guess Empathy isn't (so maybe I should have included MS NetMeeting to balance it out...). > But the piece he's missing -- which I implied but didn't state, so > it's kinda my fault -- are the words "server side." Ejabberd? Asterisk?

Hence my suggesting Ekiga & Jitsi. Now I must be misunderstanding "takes advantage". I've never used Asterisk, so I guess I'm really just looking to learn enough to be able to follow the conversation you guys are having. I had this image in my head of "videoconferencing" as something like: Asterisk server <---> Internet cloud <---> Ekiga client or: ejabberd server <---> Internet cloud <---> Pidgin client -- "Don't be afraid to ask (λf.((λx.xx) (λr.f(rr))))." _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
