Well I think you understand how well it works.  Not at all.  It comes from
a design that was based upon wide open, no NAT, direct modem connections,
and it was never fixed because MS wanted everyone to use MSN Chat instead. 
You can get some things to work like remote desktop viewing and if you're
lucky video and audio from one place to the other, but not video and audio
in the other direction simultaneously.  You can get text chat to work and
maybe some of the whiteboard stuff and file sending.  Its simultaneous
video/audio from two or more sources that won't work ever unless you are
wide open to the net on both ends.
