Oh dear. You haven't used iChat. It's enormously better than skype as a client. Only problem is the fact that it's Mac only. Polycom makes a similar client which is Windows only. I'm evaluating counterpath Brio now, which is cross-platform, and looks promising. But I don't know yet. > I'd be wary of openfire.

I guess you have used iChat. ;-) _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
