I have setup a gateway for a small intranet with a FreeBSD box 3.4 and the (very great) user ppp by Brian Somers which administer a leased line connection to the net. The box is running a firewall too. I'd like to know if someone have experience of using a videoconference tool, under these conditions, from a client inside the Intranet to an extenal ones. We have tried M$ Netmeeting, but it works only in text mode. Brian kindly answered to this iussue explaining that the audio-video streaming of this proggie was not supported by our ppp NAT code: ---> begin here <--- > >I'm afraid you're out of luck here.

Any suggestions/tips/hints/cheats is welcome... Thanks to everyone for attention...
