What would be the main difference between that system, and a system
using the existing GnomeMeeting and phones managed by GnomeMeeting
itself thanks to additional hardware? GnomeMeeting is already able to
interact with PC-To-Phone gateways and to interact with normal phone
devices.
Is your goal very different?
Thanks,
