NetMeeting security solution?

All,

First off, thanks for the replies on whether or not you felt that
NetMeeting was secure (an overwhelming NO).

Advocates of NetMeeting are trying to convince me that:
a) If you use tunneling (to take care of opening all ports on your
firewall problem), AND
b) If you use neT.120 Conference Server,

that security should not be a threat. Say that I insist that audio and
video be disabled, and that we use tunneling, do you feel that using
neT.120 Conference Server will address all other security issues?

Note: reasons given to me for using neT.120 Conference Server were taken
from http://www.databeam.com/net120/top_ten.html. Interesting that
companies such as GE, Ford, Boeing, FileNet and MCI use NetMeeting.

As before, thank much for your input.
