Thanks for the reply, I'd actually gotten some of that info which was very encouraging (Seems Mr Jobs doesn't want Mac people talking to anyone else non-mac). But I did finally find something last night that may work out:
This Xmeeting is supposed to be working now (beta): http://xmeeting.sourceforge.net/ And here is mention of the fact that GnomeMeeting has been at least partially ported to Mac OSx (found on fink): http://www.eqinfo.ucsd.edu/~atul/research/videoconf/videoconf.html Will take a little playing but I think one of these may work out.
