The actual voice/video capabilities depend on the client or device. e.g. Psi and Pidgin now have rudamentary p2p voice capabilities. No client compares to Skype that I'm aware of.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.
and that's a big problem. If the majority of your users can't run it, then it can immediately be ruled out.
If you are an Apple shop, then iChat is an option. It can use XMPP for presence management and IM, and Bonjour/RendezVous/zeroconf to set up the voice/video connection. I don't know of any other clients that work with iChat.Oh. I guess you have used iChat. ;-)
I'm speaking from my ass. I haven't actually used it for video or voice chat. I'm basing its potential viability on what others have told me. I don't see much of a point in evaluating it since, even on a college campus, the OSX requirement is impossible to overcome.
