The audio is crucial to me because I will be working on program development
with team members in Dallas, Germany and Crete all summer. I will be
communicating with only one person at a time, and everyone has DSL
connections. Using the NetMeeting audio is a far better solution than
juggling an international phone call while I have my NetMeeting session going.

So what was the workaround that you touched on in that last sentence?
