~ I would like to : set up a server on Linux on which my friends can
connect with msn or netmeeting, suporting at least sound conferance, and
optionally video, but I dont want asterisk server to lock up the sound
card; and then, I want to be able to connect that server with a free
Linux tool; I had a look at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk but
did not find any help;

~ I tried 'sudo asterisk -f -v' , and got for the user :
$ asterisk -f -r -R
Unable to connect to remote asterisk

what did I do wrong ?

I also tried to install actos which says during install:
Traceback (most recent call last):
~  File "setup.py", line 44, in ?
~    raise DependencyFailed, "You need libglade 2.0 or higher-
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libglade/2.0/"
__main__.DependencyFailed: You need libglade 2.0 or higher-
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libglade/2.0/
whereas libglade2 _IS_ installed

and
gastman-1.0-RC1$ make
says :
cc -Wall -g -DXTHREADS -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include
- -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0

gui.c:35:16: db.h: No such file or directory
gui.c:246: error: parse error before '*' token
gui.c:246: warning: type defaults to `int' in declaration of `db'

mhat is very fuzzy to me , because I dont know what lib is missing.

can any one help ?

Try sudo asterisk -vvvvvc
to start asterisk, then you may see why it is not starting.

To work with netmeeting you should better setup an H323 gatekeeper.
