internet phone chat line

[Diane Hofstetter]

Question:

  If we want to talk on a chat line with other technicians, don't we have to 
have the same software?  Brian in  South Africa has started a chat on 
Fridays on ICQ.  If we use another software, can we still chat with him?

If we do need the same software for internet phone chat line, maybe we 
should do some research on which program is best and then everyone sign up 
for that one.  (They all seem to be free)
