Linda, Please don't post messages to the list, where there is a large number of novices, stating that something "won't" work (unless absolutely true). Vox Chat will work fine with Eloquence. The key caviet is that a system requires a multi-channel sound card, such as the SB Live or the Turtle Beach Montego (excuse me if I've mispelled this). Assuming one has this type of sound card, any software synth. should work fine with chat programs such as Vox Chat.
