While this software does meet the requirements given, it is based upon proprietary unpublished protocols. I don't think we should, in an open source forum, be promoting such things so readily. GnomeMeeting on Linux can talk with NetMeeting on Windows rather well last time I tried it (>6 months ago). These use the older H.323 protocol for session setup. Admittedly, I was doing so across a VPN so NAT traversal was not an issue in my situation. GnomeMeeting takes measures to traverse a NAT (STUN I believe), but I cannot speak to the Windows side. You may need to open some ports on the Windows side firewall. Maybe you'll get lucky and NetMeeting can use uPnP to open it up. Free World Dialup also offers an all-in-one (IM, voice, video) tool called Pulver.Communicator, but I have not had any experience with this program. I believe it uses SIP for session setup. Best of luck in your quest for a Free solution that also meets your needs. -- Kevin Otte, N8VNR [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.nivex.net/ -=- "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -- George Santayana "It seems no one reads Santayana anymore." -- Cdr.
