Audio/Voice conferencing

[gooddog at interlync.com]

Thank you for the tip. I'd never heard of either one.

Last night, just before going to bed, having been wrestling with all 
this the entire evening, I was looking over the iChatAV public beta 
information and it says

For Audio:

Mac OS X v10.3 or later
Any G3 processor
Built-in USB
iSight, or any microphone
56k modem connection

I'm assuming if my friend gets Panther then he and I can Audio 
Conference no problem. He's got my old original iBook (blue. Actually, 
this is one of the prettiest blues I've ever seen, but don't get me 
started), which is less than 600 mhz, so it won't work for video but 
it'll work for audio. And that's all we need for our story 
conferencing.

Am I right about this?

Thanks.

Mark
