The transmission part of netmeeting is based on H323 , for which there is a masq module I've been meaning to take time to look over and setup here. >From the source file (ip_masq_h323.c): /* * IP_MASQ_H323, H.323 masquerading module * * * Version: 1.0 beta, Feb 25 2000 * * Author: Rajkumar.

I guess meant RTP. www.openh323.org has some sample applications based around an open source 323 library, with various bits of codec support, including, I believe an H.263 codec. The X application (openphone) doesn't support (or at least appear to support) non-palettized displays, and I haven't fought the XF4/NVidia module into not exploding trying to run two displays at different colour depths yet to try it out.
