About Netmeeting...your absolutely right about it not working with Netscapes or any other software. Here is the way I believe it works. When you click on to use Netmeeting you have an option to click on various sections to use. Family, ils.1, ils.2 ect.. I believe these represent different servers which microsoft has earmarked for Netmeeting. The same, I believe, holds true for any of the other video or speaker phone software out there.

Here in lies one of the main reasons that this concept hasn't taken off until now. If you bought a video phone for say 200 bucks you and the other person had to have the same software in order for it to be useful. Up until very recently, you had to pay for the various software to use these video phone systems. Now since Microsoft is going to include it for free in their next browser it significanty changes the ball game. I believe a standard has now been set. It remains to be seen whether the only other company which is likely to alter this standard can do it. Namely Netscape.

After all if you control the browser your at a significant advantage to control the software.
