Anyone know of a good, no-hassle alternative? > There is OpenMeetings (http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/ ) which can be used for web conferencing as well as remote desktop control. The end client system just needs a Java and Flash (gnash also works well here) friendly web browser. Does take a little getting use to with the remote control aspect, but in all not a bad start. FOSS and a Google Code based project, so $0 cost for the code. Linux ETC also can also host this for those who might need it a bit more regularly but not have the resources in house as well. Feel free to contact me off list for specific needs or visit our web site at http://www.linux-etc.com/web-conference for more. --- Crawford The Linux ETC Company 10121 Yates Court Westminster, CO 80031 USA voice: +1.303.604.2550 web: http://www.linux-etc.com --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
