Video Conferencing Behind a Firewall?

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-an-option-that-use-less-ports dept.

JShadow21 asks: "I work at a research lab at a hospital. We want to collaborate with colleagues across the pond via video conferencing however the firewall here is very restrictive. There are way too many ports that needed to be opened for H.323 to work so the IT guys won't do that. What alternatives are there? I was considering using an SSH proxy in order to use Netmeeting, or else possibly a web based solution."

    we use http://www.webex.com/ at our work, works a treat behind a multitude of firewalls and maybe even proxies if I remember rightly.
