  I'm not sure I follow this.  You say you can use Netmeeting, but then
ask for some software?  Perhaps you aren't aware that Netmeeting
does not require a server run by an ISP to work?

  The main problem is that Netmeeting, and all such similar H.323
pieces of software available cheaply, don't allow you to have
*simultaneous* video conferencing for more than two people.  But
as you are dialed to a particular person I doubt this matters.

  Regards,
     Harry.
