Re: [Ekiga-list] as netmeeting

["Dan Stromberg" <strombrg gmail com>]

For "remote desktop", as microsoft likes to call it, you're probably better off with VNC (which is a open standard that works very well and is available in many diferent, mostly compatible, free implementations across Linux, UNIX, windows, Mac, Palm, etc.) or microsoft's remote desktop facility (which is mostly microsoft-only, and requires a special license to use).

The *ix philosophy is pretty much to have one tool per task, and voice/video and remote desktop are pretty much different things.  There's nothing that stops you from combining them though.

Ekiga does audio+video, it doesn't do remote desktop.

Besides, I hope ekiga isn't that often compared to netmeeting, as it's :
(1) dead
(2) not standard-compliant
