Hi Walter,

Well since last week I installed Skype, because we have deer friends living in Brazil, USA and Norway. Tonight I had a talk with my friend in Brazil very clearly. It worked great. I can imagine if you installed it and nothing else, you won't contact. with ICQ you easier get others. However when you carefully select your friends/relatives that I am sure that you can have some nice conversations.

Hey Fellas
Can more than two people talk to one another at the same time on the same line?
A bit like a 'conference' set up?

Rog,

Yep. Up to 4 people can participate in a Skype internet telephone conference call.

Now that could be useful for one of John C's 'How to do this or that..' sessions.

I beleiveit was Scott who mentioned that MSN has an even better application, in that it also allows for webcams.

Does anyone have this, and how is it?

Larry

Hi Larry, I feel the primary advantage of MSN is that it includes the 'built-in' webcam feature while Skype requires the 3rd party Spontania 'plug-in': http://www.video4skype.com/

Though both Skype & MSN 7 provide impressive voice conversation connection & webcam transmission, I personally tend to use Skype for dedicated voice only conversations as the sound quality appears (to me) to have a 'slight' edge over MSN's.

Scott

Thanks Scott, I was unaware of the webcam plug in for Skype.
