Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] (no subject)

["william e. bastian" <n9boe centurytel net>]

damien, i know it will work on netmeeting, and can be used to exchange 
video, typed messages and sound between two computers, either over a 
network or through netmeeting,  from reading the messages i have seen on 
this messaging system for the last few weeks. and loaded the application 
in the first place so i could use a linux application to do same on 
netmeeting with a  computer using the linux operating system.  one of 
the basic elements is that by typing in an address, one can use it for 
communicating over just about any network and with just about any system 
that is using the protocol it was built upon.  
  as i am not a computer system administrator, do not know networking 
protocols or know the internal details of computer networking systems, 
do not know the terminology, or technical  language most of the 
information exchanged on this messaging system is a mystery to me.    
    the question i posed some weeks ago goes like this: the application 
is running, there is video,  it is all ready to go.
  one has to type in what i have seen, in the mail on this messaging 
system in the last few weeks, is some kind of address to use gnomemeeting.  
   what does one type in that window to get on netmeeting, examine the 
list of people you have entered as contacts, and then contact them???? 
in simple user english, not computerese.  the files you presently have 
assume far more knowledge in computer networking than i have.  if i have 
to build a list of each individual person's address on netmeeting, a 
nice long string, with several commands, etc, that is fine.  not a 
problem.  but i need specific information on how to do that in plain 
"user english" and not computer technish.  as you can see, i simply am 
coming from an entirely different angle than everyone else you chat with 
when it comes to using gnomemeeting.  i am a computer user, not a 
computer programmer,  and in order to use linux application i do 
appreciate i will have to learn some new information.  and am attempting 
to do so.  you will be seeing a lot more people in the years to come 
with my general user background attempting to comprehend an entirely new 
way of doing things.  
  again, i appreciate all the hard work that has gone into gnomemeeting 
by very skilled people who take a lot of pride in their programming. 
and into linux in general.
