[wplug] Linux and OS-X question - Video chat

I have the latest version of Gnome Meeting.

They offer a NetMeeting codec that works with Gnome Meeting.
I could get it to work between a Win2k and a Linux machine but not between 
Win98 and Linux.

That still leaves me unable to chat with the Mac.

I'll keep searching.
