I've just installed it on OSX, as the beta came out a couple of days ago. It does work, although a colleague of mine (female) has started to feel a little threatened by the account listing :- > Even though listed as offline I have been getting two or three calls a night (but not answering them) from strange men with South American names. I've made successful calls to PSTN phones in the UK - audible lag of about a second, but it's interesting how quickly the conversation paces itself to that. Haven't managed a p2p connection yet, the far end (my mum) isn't very technical :-) Another colleague was concerned about the amount of state/poll traffic going to their servers - if you left the client available all the time, he felt that you would be spending a far amount of bandwidth doing nothing. I haven't investigated the network usage in detail yet, but will do soon. -jim
