I suppose I asked for that.... Simple answer is that I've got 22 people in six countries using different versions of windows and MaxOS I need to get talking each other by Tuesday with a minimum of fuss. Bearing in mind they are photographers and artists, not geeks.
I personally have reservations about skype and it's proprietary nature, but it's the easiest way to get non-savy users talking VOIP. Not that I've actually talked to anyone appart from the echo test thingy yet, as I don't know anyone who uses skype, most people I know who do voip are geeks and use sip of one sort or another. Having said that I'm playing with SIP myself, 'cause I can, although I canna get a connection to 2talk.co.nz to work. I've got a double layer of nat, and I think that's borking it. Must play some more.
