MythPhone is based on SIP, which is a standard for VoIP. It appears to
use the G711 codec for audio, which is totally standard and should be
supported by pretty much every SIP compatible voip phone out there. I
*think* the video codec is H263, which is also pretty standard.
There's a Java project called Sip-Communicator. It's a software VoIP
phone. It does video and audio. I've used it for debugging on my
application, which uses voice only, but the mailing lists report good
success w/ video. You might want to download it, install it on a spare
machine, and see if you can get a good connection.
I'm pretty sure, but not being a windows guy I can't be certain, that
NetMeeting uses a different protocol which SIP is not compatible with.
You'll have to find other software. Sip-Communicator is a bear to
setup, but easy to use once configured, and might not be a terrible option.

I'm trying to set up Video Conferencing from the US
with my family back in the UK and I'm trying to find
out how much success others have had with using
MythPhone to do video chat with people who use MS
Win98.
My family haven't even bought their webcam yet, and I
was pushing them to a Logitec QuickCam Pro 4000, since
that's what I was planning on using on my xBox
mythfrontend since it has a microphone built in. So
they're open to use whatever software works on Win98,
although they'll probably switch to Linux or OSX soon
since their patience is rapidly running out with MS
due to viruses, spyware, etc.
Please let me know you thoughts and experiences.
Thanks!
