Mumble is free and open source. You can have a channel default muted and only admins can un-mute speakers.
Murmur is the server; Mumble is the client. It can be setup almost the same as ventrilo, but it is far superior to ventrilo. In particular, it has far superior noise cancellation algorithms and uses better voice codecs. I've run Mumuble servers before; in fact, I own mumblehosting.biz (though I've let everything expire and die). The main difference between mumble and ventrillo is that mumble is free. You can only run an 8-client instance of the vent server for free; If you want a larger instance, you have to pay for it. Additionally, the company that makes ventrilo hates small companies and sets a minimum per month price at 1000 seats, so basically only companies that resell ventrilo services can run their own ventrilo server. If we require a mumble server, I can put one up on a 100x100 pipe and give whoever needs it admin access. just let me know. -- Chris On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 10:19 AM, Roswyne <[email protected]> wrote: > I currently have a small Ventrilo (50 person) server.
