Networking itself isn't the problem as I've got 7 pc's in a 98SE/XP mix ("
in-house thru my 100Mbs ethernet"), one acting as a file server, another a
proxy server (dialup here so need to share at same time), printers etc. with
no problems. Runnign a couple of protocols, limiting bindings etc. as I see
fit (for better or worse  .

Just can't find a NetMeeting clone replacement that'll accept both WDM and
VFW capture devices under both XP and 98SE so came here and asked ...
