I understand there is a newer version which is much better but the API has changed so the application would have to be reworked. Plus, while it creates the "port forward" entries via ipnat, it doesn't create firewall entries via ipf, so you need to leave yourself wide open or know the ip addresses of the peer machines. And I guess ipfw fans would appreciate ipfw support too, since currently it's only ipf/ipnat. A lot of the Marketing people in the company where I work would love to be able to do voice-and-video with Messenger from behind the FreeBSD-based firewall. Jim
