10986	2001-04-07 06:11:00	A friend in England keeps trying to inviegle me on to MSN so we can chat via voice. However, I cannot seem to make the thing work.In the Where are you now? pull-down menu it gives a list of countries, the nearest to NZ being Australia. However, I cannot ever get the computer to dial the quoted number - can we in fact use the system from NZ?	Guest (0)

There is a link to this from any msn com website. You use a 'passport' which is generally a hotmail email address to set yourself up on it, then add your friend, using his hotmail address. (There is a button there called 'add'). Along the top of the messenger window, once set up, click tools, then audio tuning wizard to set your speakers and microphone up. It is best to use a head-set mic as to avoid echos - they can be purchased relatively cheaply (under $20.00) from KMart, Dick Smith etc Now after you have added your friend to your list, and if they are online at the same time, you can double click his name to text chat in real time, or after double clicking the name, click the yellow phone icon to voice chat. MSN messenger sends and recieves voice at the same time, so you may find that you speak over top of your friend.... try Yahoo istant messenger also, you press a button to talk and it is easier to see when they are about to talk. You can also voice conference with more than one person using Yahoo. Good luck! Matt	Guest (0)
