| 44960 | 2002-04-21 17:14:00 | I want to set up a Net-based audio link between a home computer in Christchurch and another in Dunedin. I've been checking the various free offers, in particular NetMeeting, but I'm hoping that there's something less bloated and without all the extras such as the need for .NETPassport. Anyone know of something suitable, or does anyone have experience of something suitable? Cheers, Alan Carpenter |

| 44961 | 2002-04-21 21:09:00 | Alan, I'm not entirely sure of this (because I don't use the program) but I think Yahoo Instant Messenger, and I suppose a lot of the other IM programs, have voice chat capabilities, for free... HTH Mike. |

| 44962 | 2002-04-21 21:33:00 | Hello Alan, msn messenger is another although this uses net.passport. ICQ is fairly big at 3mbs but allows audio, Paltalk is another you can set up your own private chat room. free with ads until you pay for it. cheers, Bob |

| 44964 | 2002-04-21 23:28:00 | Thanks Mike, Bob I should have been more specific. I've checked out the major bloatware bells and whistles suppliers (This kind of place www.drynet.com ) and I've looked into most of them with links such as this www.epinions.com and this http://www.meetingbywire.com/ What I'm trying to find is something much smaller and more specific - from Visual Basic I'd be happy to create a form with not much more than a text box to enter a number and a Go button to dial it, given a control that would handle the link and the sound. My instinct that this kind of sotware ought to exist may be wrong. After all, despite the fact that I know better I can't help feeling that it ought to be possible to connect two computers (in the same room) by USB cable using no extra hardware. Cheers Alan Carpenter |
