Ok, "the netmeeting plugin is modified..."  (Leslie Nielson in Police Squad)

That isn't necessary and not important.  The address needed is not the
address of the inside box but which the router shows to the outside.
As I mentioned in my previous message, the AOL Instant Messenger does
this with an option checkbox for alternate address.  All that is needed
for Exodus is to present the address of the outside router interface
which of course is the same for all the inside clients.

I know but that doesn't matter.  http://www.cryogenic.net/nmproxy.html
has a Netmeeting proxy that works very well.  It even handles incoming
connections which never worked with any previous solution of which
I am aware.  Even better, the Netmeeting proxy lets me have a Netmeeting
conference with someone behind another NAT router which has never been
possible before with any audio/video software of which I am aware.
