<para><command>&cmd;</command> is a SIP and H.323 VoIP, IP Telephony and Video
Conferencing application which complies to the SIP and H.323 protocols.  It can
connect to a variety of other SIP and H323 applications including specific
hardware. &cmd; can work with or without a webcam, and is able to create pure
audio communications or traditional audio+video communications. &cmd; was
formerly known as GnomeMeeting. &cmd; has been designed for the GNOME desktop
and therefore uses the GConf daemon (gconfd-2) for storing its userdata.
