I have used OpenH323 under Debian Linux to talk to someone using a
Microsoft NetMeeting. H. 323 is a teleconferencing protocol.
http://www.openh323.org/

I haven't used under NetBSD, but I am interested in using SpeakFreely:

Another idea (which I also haven't tried): 
Ztalk: http://www.starfleet.com/liem/work/ztalk-FAQ.html

I have used Ogg Vorbis to stream my voice to another computer. I used dd
to get my microphone input, then sox to convert it to a WAV and then used
oggenc to compress it on the fly when another system requested it via port
80 with ogg123. The server is basically a simple shell script ran via
inetd. Now I just want to do it so a remote user can listen to me talk
live! It should be simple, and they can implement the same on their
computer to talk back and forth.
