consult its archive if you have questions unanswered in this HOWTO.
NetMeeting is Microsoft's client implementation of the H.323
international standard teleconferencing protocol suite, providing
audio and video conferencing over an IP network.
NetMeeting also implements
the T.120 protocol suite, providing shared whiteboard, file
transfer and application sharing. As an extension, LDAP is
used for directory service. NetMeeting is included in Windows 2000
and is freely available for download from
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting
for Windows 95, 98, and NT.
Linux software is presently (October 2000) available to support H.323
(both audio and video) and LDAP directory service, but not T.120 shared
whiteboard, file transfer, or application sharing.
