[Klug-general] Ekiga or Skype and Webcams

[Mike Evans]

I've just got a webcam (Logitech Quickcam Messenger) and seem to have it 
working on Fedora (Core 6).  The trickiest part was getting the 
microphone on the camera working and now that it is I will probably have 
to change to a headset anyway because of echo echo!

Second success of the weekend: managed to configure Ekiga (used to be 
called GnomeMessenger) and called their loopback number.  Looks like 
things are pretty much working.  I might still need to open something on 
the firewall of my router or do some port-forwarding in order to receive 
calls.

So now I'm in need of someone else so I can try it out.  I know some 
folk have Skype, and I see there is a Beta with video on it, so we could 
try that out too/instead.

Anyone with the time to spare to try and set up a call, or a group to 
try a conference, or any advice from anyone who's done it would be great.
