Can anyone recommend an internet-based system that allows simultaneous audio and video telephony? Something like Skype but with video too?

Well... Cisco AVVID supports integrated video, but those are reasonably large systems. Remember that anything Internet based is going to suffer from Quality of Service issues... voice is hard to do, but you can solve most of the problems with a decent amount of bandwidth. In the video world, now you're kind of screwed - it takes a minimum of 384K for decent viewing, and the more the better... lack of QoS is going to be a problem.

PM me if you'd like, leave a number and we can discuss.

Or you could pay for a service instead of goods. http://www.webex.com

If you're only conferencing two sites, and you're both on Windows machines, there's always Netmeeting. Free, and probably already on your PC.

Try Google's new video feature in their IM product. I even lets 1 person broadcast to many people (& its free)
