6.3. Supported Client Software and Other Setup Notes

"** The Linux Masquerade Application list has a lot of good information regarding applications that work through Linux IP masquerading. This site was recently taken over by Steve Grevemeyer, who implemented it with a full database backend. It's a great resource! "

Generally, any application that uses standard TCP and UDP should work. If you have any suggestion, hints, etc., please see the IP Masquerade Resource for more details.

6.3.1. Network Clients that -Work- with IP Masquerade

Multimedia and Communication Clients:

All H.323 programs

- MS Netmeeting, Intel Internet Phone Beta , and other H.323 applications - There are now two solutions to accomplish this through IPMASQed connections:

There is a stable BETA 2.2.x kernel module available on the MASQ WWW site or at http://www.coritel.it/projects/nat/implementation.htm to work with Microsoft Netmeeting v3.x code on 2.2.x kernels. There is also another module version on the MASQ WWW site specifically for Netmeeting 2.x with 2.0.x kernels, but this does not support Netmeeting v3.x.

Another commercial solution is the Equivalence's PhonePatch H.323 gateway.

Alpha Worlds

Windows, Client-Server 3D chat program

CU-SeeMe

all supported platforms, with the ip_masq_cuseeme module loaded, please see Section 6.8 for more details.
