Back over a year ago I couldn't get it to work with a NetMeeting on the other side, nor could get NetMeeting on Windows behind the Linux NAT/firewall to work.

1. Where can I find a linux compatible webcam? How much is one expected to cost?
Logitech Quickcam Express (The USB model). The driver I use is at: http://www.ee.oulu.fi/~tuukkat/quickcam/qc-usb-0.5.1.tar.gz
(Used on version 8.0 of the "name-forbidden-to-use-distro" :-)
Logitech QuickCam 3000 or 4000 - these are the best, open source module is built in on any distributions (thats the "pwc" kernel module), good microphone built in..
2. Is there a Linux MSN messanger client that supports the new features? In particular, the voice and camera connection?
The upcoming Kopete 0.8 will, but thats far in the roadmap ;)
Not that I know of. Talk all your Windows friends to use NetMeeting which interoperates with GnomeMeeting. You can hint them that NetMeeting (just like GnomeMeeting) has more control than MSN on the picure size and position (e.g: your image as a separate window -- I think they added that only in the latest MSN release).
6.1 still doesn't have it yet.
On the same thread. Anybody used NetMeeting and/or GnomeMeeting over NAT? I'm trying to avoid running some proxy on the firewall/NAT machine itself. Last time I tested (very short test), it negotiated the session with the other side (I could see the address/name of the NetMeeting partner, and they could see my address), but no video data was passed. Any hint from someone who actually use this would be helpfull.
Well, I used GnomeMeeting few days ago. They have a simple script to let you forward some ports (NetMeeting uses tons of ports), and you'll need to register to their ILS server in order to connect from inside your firewall to the outside world, or vice versa. Works pretty well (although no text chat, no file up/downloading support, and no white board - too bad, all those features are fully open protocols)..
Works pretty nice..
