Web conferencing tool

[Pontux]

Hi,

Could you recommend a Linux/Debian/Ubuntu/Open Source web conferencing tool that would be used primarily for desktop sharing and application demoing as well as for remote support?

There is an almost similar Windows 2000/xp application – Unyte – working with Skype and Java-supported web browsers.

Some features I'm looking for:

1. I send a link to 1-5 person and via their browser they log into a 'meeting' and either I share my screen or application(s) with them or they share their screen or application(s) with me. In addition I might need to take control of their screen if they grant me that right.

2. I hope the application is able function through firewalls - ideally just use web browser/Java and port 80.

What would be the best solution?

for sharing desktops you should probably be using vnc rather than web conferencing.

Thanks for link. Ekiga (GnomeMeeting) uses "firewall-non-frienly" H323 and SIP protocols. No application/screen sharing, no remote desktop, at the moment.

Firewall-friendly web meetings and remote support possibilities with VoIP are for me more important than videoconferencing.

Thanks Sam.

There is an interesting project Collaborative VNC (http://benjie.org/software/linux/collaborative-vnc/).

It's one-to-many VNC, but what about encryption and firewalls?

Has anyone some Collaborative VNC experience?
