Hi! guys,

Been looking for a software that can allow me to have an audio chat with my bother on his wintel laptop. Tried many things but still not a solution which can offer free voice chat.

1. iChatAV: Needs ichat at the other end. cannot do voice chat with AIM on the PC side.

2. Yahoo: Webcam Support, but I do not have a webcam. does not offer Audio only chat

3. MSN Messenger: Mac Version does not have audio chat support

4. AIM from AOL: Voice Chat not supported on the mac version.

No other solution found yet. Any ideas would be much appreciated guys.......

As always thanks in advance

ophoneX uses the h.323 standard. (VoIP)

http://www.openh323.org is very nice...

(whee... M$ has an application supporting standards )

Well, make sure the other person is waiting for your call, enter his IP adress, and that should be it. If you use NAT for your connection (an Airport Base Station for instance), you must go first to the pref panel, so the software can grab your public IP.
