Greetings ( + )!( + ) Using dogpile.com search the internet for the application called "Proteus" it has a lot of great features in the "Free" version. Or both of you could get "Skype" which will let you do messaging for free or talk PC-to-PC for free. Skype also has very low PC-to-Landline rates. However I believe that you need something faster than "Dial-Up" to use Skype, but then again I might be wrong. ---------------------------------------------------- On Oct 8, 2007, at 1:00 PM, John Sparks wrote: > Hello List: > My Grandson on the East Coast wants to see and chat via our Computers. > What is the suggested Hardware and Software.
