mac, as one who keeps arguing for a solution to the file
xfer problem, i don't believe netmeeting offers a decent
solution. i believe it is using IRC to do the file xfer and
if so it is infinitely easier to just set aol IM or yahoo
messenger or even icq.
if it doesn't use IRC, then even with the inherent flaws, i
would think ftp would still be a *better* (more direct)
solution....
