Is this to call telephones or only online chatting?

[stargazer]

It's for talking to someone who has the same program.No more phone cards for me! I talked to my daughter in Canada for more than three hours.Very clear and no lag.You must have Windows 2000 or later.

MSN audio worked fine in korea and japan, but not to south africa. We have only one telephone/ADSL service and I think they block audio.

My parents are in South Africa (being South African) and it works fine with me. What is the name of their ISP? My parents just use 56K dialup. It only slows down when I try and use video as well. My dad is with Icon.

Goeie Middag giant. that's interesting. my dad uses m-web. He was convinced that the ADSL service offered by telkom somehow blocked audio. got round that with Roger WIlko, a very simple but effective program. but skype is much clearer.

How much do mics and the gear for this cost?

[Giant]

All you need is a mic (+-W2000) and a webcam (+-W50,000). I assume you already have speakers. Some people like a headset (less feedback on audio), but you dont really need a headset if you position your mic right.
