I've done a number of different things trying to have a decent experience with a video conference on Linux. Best I've had so far is with Ekiga <http://www.ekiga.org/> (AKA gnomemeeting 2.0). It supports SIP now, so it should work against any SIP softphone out there. It also works with H.323 and will talk to netmeeting but you have to change some settings for netmeeting to work. You'd probably have better luck Linux-to-Linux using SIP. As for more-than-two-way conferencing, you'd need to have some sort of service running to support it. For H.323 there are a few open source things for that, none of which worked very well last time I tried. For SIP there's Asterix. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
