I believe the official word on this from Microsoft is that to get
NetMeeting through NAT/firewalls, you should basically translate all high
UDP ports. This is simply poor design, because they chose T.120 and H.323
as the application protocols. Now, as we all know, this is:

a) Stupid
b) Impossible through the M10's crappy pinhole system

I believe they (MS) have made life a lot easier with MetMeeting 3, but I
haven't read about that yet. I was glad to hear about this tho, because no
Security Admin (of which I am one) worth his (or her) job is going to let
NetMeeting into a company the way it was designed for NM2.
