skype new chat program (voice)

[leitel]

I have installed Ventrilo (php) on my server and can now have VoiceOverIP CONFERENCING. Works like PalTalk but you can provide direct link to your conference room. One thing to note is that some of my users have been unable to unstall on some (maybe older hardware) machines.

As for Skype, when it works, it works great. There ARE times when, for some reason, conversation become intolerably chopped up.

Curiouis if anyone has heard of any other skype-like tools.

great program, I use it all the time.

SubDuck, are you still using Ventrilo? Have you compared with TeamSpeak? I used Ventrilo for a while. Then got away from it because unless I can give some indication on FP of howmany and/or who are currently online with either one, they aren't motivated to install and try.

What would REALLY be useful would be a way to Instant Message a person currently online. PM is good but not as real time as IM.

To all who are using it:

iam on ISDN, will i get a 'good call' or will i have low quality when i call someone on DSL?

This is standard operating protocol.

Exactly as rishel said.

Can any1 tell me how to add skype username (custom profile field) to user postbit right after its avatar?

Thanks!

See my site for a vB2 solution, let me know if you want it for vB2 and I'll post it.

In vB3 it will be even easier to add because of the vB Condition option.
