[H-GEN] NetMeeting

I'm going from memory here and not checking any facts[1], but I believe the
NetMeeting uses the H.323 protocol.  If that is the case, forget it, can't be
done.  It uses multiple random ports to do its thing and last I checked there
was no module available to get it working with ipmasq/ipchains.  Might be
worth having a poke around and see if someone has come up with a module for it
now though.  I believe the only other possible solution may be to port forward
ALL ports from the gateway to the box in question for the duration of the
connection.

Well, I wrote that yesterday and visitors arrived before I sent it, so I have
just looked up the Masq Apps page....
http://www.tsmservices.com/masq/detailform.php3?132
That gives instructions on using NetMeeting thru maasq.  It's messy.

Cheers
