The video conferencing portion of uses SIP for signaling, H.263 for video, and PureVoice QCELP (Quicktime Audio Codec) for sound. GnomeMeeting uses H.323 (same as Microsoft's NetMeeting). Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to interact. Based on my limited understanding of this, H.323 has historically had problems or difficulties with NAT. I believe iChat shares some features in common with VOIP (SIP is what I am thinking of here) and is designed to work even if NAT is used. This is why I think Apple may have gone a different route. I could be wrong on some (or all) of this, but I think that is the situation...
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, Bill

I have a friend on a Mac with an iSight camera and iChat, I'm on a Linux
computer with a webcam, mic and GnomeMeeting. Anyone ever heard of or
tried to get the two to talk and work together. Any clues would be
appreciated. I'm doing the google search, but no strong leads yet.
Thanks.
