I think I read sometime ago in MacWorld that three way audio conferencing is possible with iChat. I am trying to chat with two other fellow iChat users.

Do you need ichat 2.0 to be able to conference? One of us does not have v 2.0.

If it is possible can someone run me through the steps to set it up.

Thanks.

I've never heard of such capability; however, I'm very interested to know if anybody has any idea on this as well...

Currently, I doubt that's possible. It seems that iChat enforces a one-to-one session. Video conferencing monopolizes the video and audio inputs. Audio conferencing monopolizes the audio input. The thing is, I haven't seen many SIP-based clients that offer "true" conferencing. H.323-based applications like MS NetMeeting support this (as the protocol itself supports it), but quality is a far cry from iChat AV + iSight.

You might want to check out X-Ten's offerings if you want to do multi-party conferencing.

You can't do it with iChat (yet, I hope), BUT you can check out
