Without a gatekeeper, in the address window goes the IP address of the
person you are trying to reach.  A typical way of establishing each
other's IP address is via an IM such as yahoo or ICQ or AOL.  If you are
both accessing the same ILS or XDAP directory, you will (except as noted
in the FAQ) be able to see each other and double clicking on a name in
the directory will establish the connection.

A gatekeeper, while probably beyond the scope of this discussion is the
nicest of all.

Beware, whether you are running GM on Linux or NM on Windows, you will
always have firewall issues if either of you are running NAT behind a
router.  Both the GM FAQ and MS's NM web site, as well as Google Groups
and various mailing lists, cover those issues in depth.
