Damn. I'm so close to a free (as in freedom) video conferencing <br>
solution for us. Solved a half dozen problems but still 2 or three to go. <br>
Keep an eye on the mailing list. Some time this week I'm going to need <br>
peeps to help me stress test it. I'll set a date and a time and address <br>
to give it a run.<br>
<br>
Hang in there.<br>
