For now Windows 9x/NT and Mac only... But it really free for either PC to Phone (US destinations) or PC to PC (worldwide): http://messenger.msn.com/ (yes, Micro$oft ;-) http://www.dialpad.com/ http://www.phonefree.com/ I wonder if any open-source clone already available yet. Probably could even be ported to DOS? ;-) BTW, anyone have experience on peer to peer (direct IP) chat programs? If we use low-enough quality U-Law-compressed sound stream (built-in codec on SB Pro and up, IIRC), probably it would be possible to write a simplified voice over IP program for DOS that works like a handy talky? Since compression/decomp already handled by the sound card's hardware, there's no need for CPU-hog software compressor/decompressor anymore: Should be suitable even for "true" SurvPCs... "Hello there sweety, over." bleep "Heard ya loud and clear, over." bleep (and so on...) Naw, I should be daydreaming! ;-) --Eko http://www.survpc.net/ - Older PC and DOS Internet http://survpc.virtualave.net/ - If you hate frames To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
