internet phone chat line

[Don]

HI Diane,

Yes everyone must have similar software. Sometimes identical. If it is icq
then you must use icq. Other nets like starlink there are a variety of
programs that will provide access. Apparenly *some* of the voice chat
programs are theoretically capable of connecting--but I have never tried it.

The icq chat on Sundays is typed at icq in a joint session.

A liberty to that only which is good, just, and honest.
