| I would use 2 way video ...but this business of opening all ports just in case one of them is the one that will be chosen at random is utter nonsense. This part of the H.323 standard is basically crap that dates back to when nobody thought seriously about the possibility that a line pair might be used for more than one purpose at a time--let alone a network connection.
The bandwidth is not so much an issue--improved compression methods and faster processors can give a fairly good adaptive rendering quality (see eyeball.com, for example). Security is. |

Rowlett, TX | It would be much more useful and popular if there was not so much resistance to it behind the scenes.
As long as the big players get to make all of the decisions about what standards become standards, then monolithic, dinosaurish protocols like this one will dominate things.

It's more than security. I tried videoconferencing a while back before we were all using firewalls and we STILL couldn't get the software to work together. We tried everything that was out there. (And the problem with Netmeeting specifically was that it wouldn't run on a Mac AT ALL!) |

Rowlett, TX | That would probably be because Netmeeting is a Microsoft product.
You know Gates. |
