I have to recommend this software to everyone. Out of all the video chat programs I have tried. It is user friendly, easy to set up.

Email a Live Voice session to anyone, anywhere. Instantly allows you and your buddies to talk live in ICQ. Add live voice to your web site, quickly and easily. Update When Checked on O7/01/03 when clicking on this website you get Pal Talk so the two programs must have merged.
FREE

Voice
Send voice over the Internet using any Windows(tm) MS Windows compatible sound card. If it works in Windows it will work with HoneyCom. For natural-sounding voice communication, HoneyCom uses the software compression built into MS Windows or your sound card if it has hardware compression.
Group Conference
Connect up to three (3) people at a time over a 28.8Kps modem or faster, Local Area Network (LAN), or ISDN/DSL, or cable modem.
Video
Video images are captured and shared using any Windows-compatible camera or video card. Fast video compression speeds images over the network. Video images you see can be stretched to any size giving the size of picture you want to see.
MiniMe's
Instant messages we call MiniMe's. It's great fun. Use your camera to snap a picture and send instant messages and to anyone on your online list. You no longer can hide if you're a dog (remember the Internet joke?).
Typing Chat
Type messages. Everyone connected will see your messages immediately, even when someone else is talking. Public and private typing chat gives you flexibility in sending personal messages.
File Transfer
Files of any size can be transfered to all group members. Share a picture of the family. Transfer a map while describing directions. Show a chart, then make changes and download in real time.
