If I recall correctly, I think that the microsoft netmeeting type apps 
use H.323 - So you'd probably need to go through an asterisk server or 
something to do the protocol conversion...

Or personally I'd just get them OFF M$ completely and onto some decent 
Open Source operating system and applications.
