Firetalk provides very good voice quality over the 'net. Your voice is heard in real-time too, so you don't have to talk, wait for transmission, then the other person talks ... Whoever wants to talk, just press the "talk" button and go. It will be greyed out for the other person, so they have to wait for you to finish. The quick version is get it :-) Jason.

I saw the Firetalk link on the VROC site. Do many people use it? My wife and kids are in Europe for 3 weeks, I'm in the US. The good news is I have unlimited GPL time (got almost 3 seconds of my Mosport time last night :) but the bad news is I miss 'em a lot and talking for free sounds like a pretty good deal. They have internet access. Will it work? -Tony-

Firetalk works fine Tony but why bother. Microsoft Net Meeting does exactly the same job and is standard with windows.

Yes, Firetalk works quite well and is free. There are many other voice applications, too many to list here, but out of those that I tested, Fire Talk seems to be the best. Tony Jester wrote in message
