Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Logitech 4000 video error

Hi Warren,

Gnomemeeting does not do text chat with Netmeeting. Netmeeting uses a
proprietary "commercial" protocol for text chat.

Gnomemeeting does not do remote desktop sharing either. There are other
programs for linux that do the same thing, and do them better then
Netmeeting, and as such are not integrated into Gnomemeeting.

You might want to read Damien's explanation of what Gnomeeting is meant
to be. You can find it on the Gnomemeeting web site.

Gnomemeeting greatly surpasses Netmeeting in it's networking and VOIP
capabilities. Gnomemeeting is not only a PC to PC VOIP application, but
PC to PHONE as well when using a quicknet card. I use it mostly for PC
to PHONE and the quality is excellent.

Netmeeting is old technology and as far as I know, is no longer
supported by Micro$oft. I don't know for sure, but I have heard mention
that Gnomemeeting will be ported to Windoze. Maybe someone on the list
can verify if that is true.
