[CUBE] Audio/Voice conferencing

[Chip Everts]

That would work well. if you haven't used iChat, it's very easy to use. 
You wouldn't even need the latest beta to do the audio chat. The beta 
added the audio/video chat with windows AOL and AOL Instant Messenger 
users. The latest AOL Instant Messenger with his XP with your iChat 
beta with Panther should also work. But get your friend using his Mac 
again! ; ) Good luck.
