[info-tech] messenging tools

2009-12-11 Thread Brad Kruse
We want to start using communication software (voice/video) some between 
offices and staff.   One of the reasons is that we have to pay long distance 
charges between buildings.  No VOIP yet.  We have been testing Skype and 
Windows Live with our faculty and staff but I thought I would ask for the 
group's preferences and opinions.  I want to allow traffic for one client only. 
 Thanks.

Skype is what I use a lot for anything like that.  Works very well compared
to Windows Live in my opinion.Just my two cents.

Use Magicjack. Works great for all long distance. Myself and most of my 
relatives use it. $20 for whole year Will recover costs in other long distance. 
I have one I can loan you if you want to try it.
