You might want to take a look at Macromedia Flash Communication Server
MX. I don't have personal experience with this, but I've seen a live
demo and the Macromedia reps set up videoconferencing in about five

Per the last sentence: "A simple desktop video-conferencing solution
can be created at little expense."
