I for myself wouldn't touch such a proprietary closed-protocol
application. Especially not if it is hyped that way ("by the makers of
kazaa" - there i nothing to gain by using filesharing technologies
unless you want to broadcast your voice)
Being a firewall-buster also is not a good but a bad thing.
Firewalls were installed to prevent access. Applications busting through
firewalls are written by authors *fighting* against their network
admins, not working together with them.
I prefer using standard protocols such has H.323 and SIP.
The biggest problem with these protocols is that the windows clients
suck (i.e. netmeeting not supporting gatekeepers properly), but i don't
care about that.
Gruß,
Erich Schubert
