Anyone checked out Microsoft Portrait? It's a low-bandwidth video conferencing tool created for PocketPCs. It works with MSN Messenger and apparently can also be used on Windows 98, ME or 2000 PCs as well.
Here's the description from their web site:

Microsoft Portrait is very low bitrate video conferencing software supporting MSN Messenger on PCs, Pocket PCs, Handheld PCs, and Internet Locator Service (ILS) on PCs. It runs on local area networks, dialup networks and even wireless networks with bandwidths as low as 9.6 kilobits/second. Microsoft Portrait delivers portrait-like black/white video which can work in bandwidths so low that full color video could never work. The portrait video is so small that it can even be transmitted through an HTTP proxy as text. Microsoft Portrait provides basic chat/voice/video functions almost anytime, anywhere, on any device.

The real kicker is that it works through most NATs and proxys!
