In addition to these programs, there is one called Media Ring available at http://www.mediaring.com. It works well, and is free. Users having an inet connection, soundcard, speakers, and microphone can talk free to each other anywhere in the world using their internet connection.

Another program is QTalk. ICQ seems to be a communications manager program, it is possible to "chat" in real time by typing messages in ICQ, and it keeps track of all kinds of messages, addresses, etc. I've only had it awhile and last night was able to chat with Brian in South Africa, it was fun. QTalk allows you to talk with another user who has all the necessary equipment, soundcard, microphone, speaker, etc. I haven't succeeded in using it yet, but you can find it and download it from www.qtalka.com. ICQ manages QTalk. According to Brian Lawson's msg. to pianotech on Fri, 18 Jun, the weekly icq piano chat is Fridays at 8pm (+2gmt) or about 1pm east coast USA. I don't know how to access it yet, but there's a week to find out in! good luck, Diane >From: "James I.
