  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.

I wasn't; thanks.

How does one use it for direct- dialled calls?

  I'm a bit rusty as to the actual layout these days, and I'm probably
several versions out, but, IIRC there was an option to connect to a
specific machine available.

  So once you get TCP/IP running between the two machines, just connect.

     Harry.

Search for H.324 compliant videoconferencing systems. Some are PC based.

They should also support Netmeeting point to point.

It is possible to use NetMeeting to connect two computers without using
an internet connection.  You can download a paper that explains how to
do this at http://noeld.com/download.htm .  For connections using the
internet (to avoid the cost of international calling) I recommend
Visitalk.com.  Currently they are giving away a headset/mic, to anyone
registering for their free services (sorry, they will ship in US
only).  If you refer 6 people to Visitalk, you get $40 credit at
buy.com.  Each 6 referrals brings $40 more up to $200.  Good luck,
Les Thomas
