Thanks for that but the righthand-side of the relationship is me and
I'm only running Linux or *BSD out of choice.  The lefthand user only
runs WindowsXP out of choice.

No, he didn't!  It's what I suspected when he started telling me I
needed a .NET Passport, but I'd never used (Windows Messenger 5.1) and
had to rely on what he told me.

"It" == "WM5.1:   or   "It" == "IM with WM5.1"  ?  Damien Sandras'
subsequent email seems to say that I /should/ be able to send IM to
someone using WM5.1 that's registered on ekiga.net.

others so it must be due to using proxies or firewalls or something
like that.  Thanks for all the info.
