Hello,

EvoiceCafe We used for our voice chat. It is okay but limited to PC's and the technical support is not very good. Requires Active X and sometimes can be a big hassle to get users to be able to chat. Pricing is okay not great.

Parachat Is what we use for text chat. Not bad priced and easy to integrate with vb. Technical support is good. We have used Parachat for over 4 years now and are happy with it. Price is based on seats just as most programs. They have a hosted version or server which you can host your own.

We tried 123flash chat and had a very bad experience with tech support and decided it wasn't for us.

We currently use PalTalk for voice chat. Not bad Fairly easy to setup but does not integrate with vb currently. You can get a basic room for free or upgrade to more features etc for a small price.

Also have tried irc but let another person said unless you get on a small irc server names are limited and the learning curve for irc is a bit higher in my opinion. They do make some good Java front ends for irc but we choose not to go this route.

We are constantly look at chat programs but have not found the right one to use for both text and voice since we use it for meetings. Certain features we need that some don't seem to be higher priced and just have not found the right fit yet.

Those are my experiences with chats.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
