Hi Eugen,
thanks for the quick answer.
No, that name I made up.
I was in particular asking about the correct way to configure ekiga to
connect with an xmeeting user.
I created an h.323 account too and added it to ekiga, because I was
assuming that I need one to communicate with the Xmeeting user.
My second question, then, is whether my assumptions are correct.
To sum up:
1- Will I be able to talk with Mac users using Xmeeting?
Theoretically yes, practically you should. You should try.
2- Do I need an h.323 account for that, or can I do that from sip (ekiga.net)?
You cannot communicate with a contact having a h323 account, using a sip
account.
3- How's the configuration on the Mac user side to communicate with me?
It is easy. You have to create a compatible account, for ex. a sip (or
a h323) account in the same server. For ex. you are o...@ekiga.net and
he is t...@ekiga.net. Each of you have to configure its software to
register to his account.
For best experience use 4.0.1 release of ekiga.
4- And an additional question, out of topic: Can I define a
configuration ekiga folder elsewhere als $HOME/.gconf/apps/ekiga?
I do not think so. Ekiga uses gconf, and it is gconf which uses that
directory. Maybe you can make $HOME/.gconf/apps/ekiga a symbolic link
to another directory, if it is ok for you.

Hi,
I would like to know how to add Xmeeting users on OSX and with an
h.323 account (spranto.net) to the ekiga address book.
More concretely, I would like to know how to call them/chat with them.
According to the wikipedia, Xmeeting is compatible with ekiga.
When I edit the roster element, I add
Name: John Doe
Address: h323:john...@spranto.net
The user seems to be added, but I cannot call it and the "message"
entry from the right-menu is not available.
I can call that user (dbl click or right-click) but "User not found", which
means that user does not exist. Does it exist?
According to manual
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Manual#Sending_instant_messages_.28chatting.29:
"You can also exchange text messages with H.323 Ekiga users, but only while
being in a call. To do this, simply click on the new tab icon, and a new tab
will automatically be created allowing a conversation with the user you are
on a call with." Does it work for you?
