Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Keep H.323 but avoid Netmeeting!

Hi,

I agree, but with the caution that so far I have only tried 
GnomeMeeting with hardware-video-capture-card-equipped systems with the 
ESNet system.  (See 
http://highenergy.phys.ttu.edu/SAM/gnomemeeting.html for details of our 
setup and equipment.)

I must say that video and overall performance go GM is EXCELLENT when 
using such a setup -- better than the ViaVideo or other non-GM hardware 
codec solutions!
