This only works if you have NetMeeting 3.0 and are viewing with Internet Explorer 4.01 or later. There is speculation that it could be made to work for Netscape using the ActiveX plug at Esker. This page has not been modified to use their plug in but if I can find the time I may dabble -- if anybody else gets this to work email me - I am interested.

I have just been playing with the SDK to see if this works -- these days I am rarely online at the target machine so it is unlikely that you can connect with me or contact me.

The most difficult problem in using or reproducing this code is the section on the "Call" button:

The section in red is the calling address of brians.meetingbywire.com which is the fully qualified domain name of my computer on the network. Because I have a static IP and control of the name service for my zone I can use such a construct.

Many users cannot not use this type of address -- they may be on static or semi-static IP -- in which case they could use the IP number -- they may have a fixed computer name ( cable companies often supply fixed names to users - cxxxxxx.blah.blah.home.com or similar) -- in which case they can use that number  -- they may to subscribe to a dynamic naming service like www.tzo.com which supplies a fixed name -- that name can be used.

By far the most common situation is a user on dialup without a fixed IP or name -- the solution there is to log into the same ILS server on a consistent basis and use a calling address like 'ils.whateverilsyouuse.com/youremailusedinILS@whatever.com".
