I have an isight, but am also setting up for voip.

Currently I have my netgear router forwarding ports for the isight to my powerbook. However, the same ports are used for the isight as for a SIP voip phone.

Is there a way around this without reconfiguring the router?

Cheers,

J.

Ah, the helpful reply

I'm moving to Brunei, and need to talk to people who don't have broadband, but I can use a VOIP phone to phone back to England.

Given the amount of time my wife spends on the phone to her mother and sister, this solution will save a VERY large amount of money.

If I could convince the family to see the light and switch to macs then ichat would be the answer. Even ichat working with aim would be a start, but her parents aren't going to get on the information superhighway any time soon.

thanks,

J.
