Thanks for replying Tony, Jon, Simon.

Unfortunately although I get some leeway to put Linux solutions in at
the server level (and I'm testing Openfire on the Ubuntu platform at
the moment) my employer only has Windows on the desktop.

Empathy doesn't have a Windows port at the moment but knowing that
you've got video working with Empathy gives me a bit of hope that I
can get a decent video solution up and running using something or
other.

Thanks,

Chris
