[Ekiga-list] How can I communicate with people using Net Messenger

[H.Riesbeck]

My kids are using the MS application Net Messenger for chatting and/or 
video phone. I wonder how I could use Ekiga (running in Linux) to 
communicate either chatting or video chatting?.
I tried to research to issue on the internet, but I have unfortunately 
not been successful to find an appropriate answer. Any assistance would 
be much appreciated. Thank you very kindly.
