This is very much true. Even I own a blog account on video conferencing. Video conferencing is indeed a great innovation in technology and communications. One day video conferencing will be like an ordinary house-hold item in the next 5-10 years.I will mention your post in my blog. I have read this post. This is very much true.

I just *have* to get this to work before our twin babies will be born, my parents (also using Win XP) will be dying to see them asap... ;-) Torsten Cesar,

All of us will benefit from your test. Thanks. Sounds like Ekiga has done some developing or fine tuning. God Bless them. Another important development lately is in Skype. It is now completely cross compatable between Linux, MAC, and Windows. I have video called friends with Windows and MAC while I'm on a Linux Box. As with you, all calls were successful in every way, video, voice, and text. ladyfaa, if by communication service you mean internet phone service like Vonage, It's not. Ekiga is more like chat, ala Windows Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger, and Skype. That’s Excellent Cesar. All of us will benefit from your test. Thanks.

Installed Ekiga in both... call to some friends and could make video calls between linux-linux windowsxp-linux linux-windowsxp and windowsxp-windowsxp succesfully. some cases the image resolution differs, guess is matter of configuration.

I downloaded and installed Ekiga successfully to a Windows XP box and a PCLinuxOS machine. Ekiga passed all built in and ekiga.net provided tests on both computers. Both computers are on my wired home network. The computers successfully called and answered each other using both SIP and H323 protocols and maintained the connection. All good. Now the bad. Neither computer would display the other computers video, only the video of the owning computer. Neither computer would recieve audio. The mic VU meter on both computers indicated transmission but neither speaker VU meter indicated reception. So, contact was made, but communication was not successful. The Windows XP computer was behind a double firewall (computer & router) and the PCLinuxOS computer was behind a single firewall (router only). I hesitate to think this was the problem because both computers passed all the tests at ekiga.net which had to go through the firewalls. This is a great app with much promise and I'm gonna keep at it until somebody or me makes it work cross-platform. The worlds need for this capability is increasing logarithmically.
