That's a good news :)

The best is to decompose the main problem in several subproblems, once
you have a common codec, if there is no sound you can decompose the
problem in other subproblems.

I plan to reorganize the FAQ (I don't have much time), and do this
predecomposition so that people can tell I'm in case "b" and I can't go
further.

Looks promising then.

OK as long as ipchains supports port forwarding (I don't remember but
I'm not sure it does).

If you do this, you have to unload the buggy h323_masq_module, forward
the required ports and enable IP translation in GnomeMeeting. Yes it is
needed, but it is only an option to enable in GnomeMeeting :)
