I need a software application that will let me voice chat with my friends on the MSN/Yahoo Network. I tried Adium but it doesnt support voice. Are there any good applications that will fit my requirements ?

Thanks

I don't think so. These voice chatting protocols use proprietary audio formats, if I recall, so nobody on the Mac can very well support them.

Skype (it has it' own network, but IMHO this is the best internet telephony app. out there).

also, IIRC, aMSN supports both audio and video chats.

Actually, it was just MSN's video codec that was proprietary AFAIK, and someone has reverse engineered that.
