I tested NetMeeting and ParseEmailAliases=1 option, here are the results:
1. If NM is registered with the gatekeeper, you can dial alias@ip_or_dns
numbers without any problems - now GnuGk recognizes it.
2. If you are not registered with the gatekeeeper (your case) alias@ip_or_dns
does not work this way (maybe NM tries to read DNS or am internet directory
for this IP)... Does somebody know more details on it?
