Do a search on google for H.323 & Linux, you'll find a lot of resources. Jing uses NetMeeting to China, the voice is slightly worse than GSM phone & the picture, little better than a blurry image if there is much movement. If the movement is small, an acceptable image results. The remote end is dial-up, my end is ADSL.

I suspect the NET2Phone software would work through ODIN, if only the install program didn't fall over ! Perhaps I'll install it in VPC/2 and then transfer the installed files, but I suspect there's also some registry settings that are needed. Cheers/2 Ed.

I'm afraid in the end this means less than nothing. And what do you mean by "the server it needs is down"? -- Groeten uit Gent, Kris ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
