About the full dublex What do you mean by "as you are not using them  nut 
interfacing with the hardware directly" I had a .asoundrc file but 
gnomemeeting was crashing. It was complaining that it this was an 
old .asoundrc file.  I read about the MS-GSM codec. Is this used for 
netmeeting to transmit data (audio/video) to gnomemeeting?

Thank you,
