You might want to recommend a proper video call app like gnomemeeting, though. It probably has specific features that outclass any IM client's support. By the way... don't work too hard. If they found an excuse as obscure as that, they'll probably find a brand new excuse once you solve that one ;) </pre> </blockquote> <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- --------------------------------------------------- Andrew Millar (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:andy-mail@priorityonline.net">andy-mail@priorityonline.net</a>) GnuPG Key: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://new.sir-millar.com/0x227F976C.asc">http://new.sir-millar.com/0x227F976C.asc</a> --------------------------------------------------- </pre> </body> </html>
