Netmeeting under wine

I just tried to help someone which has to use under Linux a H.323
solution NOW.

I don't think Wine will be able to run NetMeeting in a few weeks, nor in
a few months.

If I would not advise him this alternative, the only choice this
NetMeeting user had was to through away Linux and come back to Windows.


I understand that you feel very concerned by wine success and I excuse
me if you were irritated. It was not my goal.

As a conclusion, I would say that if you invest as many energy in the
Wine development as you did in this flame mail, I think Wine could be
use widely soon. I would be happy.
