Hi there clever people ...
I live in Ireland & My friend is in london, In order to avoid having my knees broken by the phone company due to high call charges between us I would like to be able to voice chat on the web.
The problem is she has a Imac & I have a PC. I have tried PALTALK but they are not compatible with mac. So my question is ...
Can anyone tell me of a voice chat website that a PC & a Mac can voice chat to each other ?
Thanks for your help.

I'm not sure about what the Mac system terminology is but in pc machines when we have different network protocols used (ie. NetBios or IPX/SPX) and we need to communicate with the outside internet we use almost a router machine forming a NAT (Network Address Translation) link which converts whatever Protocol to TCP/IP and back again without loosing the data link. IMacs will use a similar system I'm sure, however as I'm not an IMac user I'm not familiar with it, check the help section in OS X for internet usage and that should give you some pointers.
MSN would probably be the way to go, however I don't think Mac MSN supports conference connections yet and you need to have OS X or greater... Plus for affective video chatting you'd probably both need to be on ASDL and not 56k cause it would make things too bitty and broken.
