YMMV.

The OpenH323 project has an H.323 client which interoprates with
NetMeeting for voice and video calls but won't do the whiteboard.
No H.323 client is going to interact well with a firewall - H.323 relies
on dynamically assigned UDP and TCP connections in both directions,
which makes it pretty much impossible to pass through a firewall safely
unless the firewall understands H.323 or you run a H.323 to H.323
gateway on the firewall.
If you're using NAT the situation is worse (it's not just a case of
opening the firewall, it's just basically impossible to make the
connection without the active assistance of the NAT box).
