The latest firmware should support outgoing NetMeeting calls with full
audio/video two ways and I believe has UPnP support so messenger audio/video
call should be possible.

I haven't use the befsr41 for a while thought so I am not sure of its
current state.

No.

No -- the use of an ILS server doesn't come into play here anyway as the
calls are using the IP calling method.

There is no NetMeeting 3.02 and no downloadable NetMeeting will install and
run on XP.
