Here's from the MS website, showing that most of the ports NetMeeting
uses are on TCP.  But the vast majority of applications use Both the TCP
and UDP ports of the same number.  Even ftp..

 And the url for getting NetMeeting up and running through your firewall:

But some forms of traffic are much worse than others - I'd rather have
inbound ftp, for example, which can be controlled, than UDP, which offers
up
a much bigger risk... that's the problem with Netmeeting, from what I
understand - it's the UDO protocol that is difficult to manage.

  Any application you use will potentially make you vulnerable to exploits
being sent to that application/port which is opened up in the firewall.  So
that is why you need to be careful on exactly what applications get used on
your LAN.  If you open up a certain port, you run the risk of unintended
traffic coming into your network through that port.  Firewalls themselves
cannot distinguish between bad traffic and good traffic going through a
port you opened up.  That's where getting some form of IDS on your network
will help you ensure only good traffic is coming/going through your LAN.

Doesn't Netmeeting behind firewalls still make the clients vulnerable to
exploits?

  Lotus Sametime..  But you incur the expense of a Domino license.   I've
also had good success with Netmeeting with both parties being behind
firewalls.

Does anyone know of a good firewall friendly desktop video conferencing
product?

Thanks
