Alternatives we've tried are:
* Netmeeting - works as often as it doesn't and you can't really do
anything else with your PC while its running.
* Soft phones - spotty quality and the usual problems with running
real-time software on Microsoft platforms (crashes, erratic
behavior, clashes with other client-mandated software like firewalls).

Just got back in the GNHLUG and this is interesting because I ran into this
issue back in June with WebEX while doing a webcast with RedHat. WebEX is not
*NIX friendly so what they do is use http://www.elluminate.com/ . Worked
pretty well. Its basically a FOSS friendly version of WebEX. Slide
presentation, voice, chat, etc... Check it out as it might be a fit for your
cause.
