Only one mcu is needed (even for multiple conferences, although you may choose to have multiple, as decoding/mixing/encoding media streams causes a heavy load on the system), which needs a broadband connection to receive _all_ streams and send streams to _all_ participants. The participants then use GnomeMeeting / Netmeeting / CuSeeMe ... to connect to this server. > Thanks... > > -Bruce > > PS.

There is no such application, but you can tell gnomemeeting from any application to call someone.
