I don't know how many people have heard of Ventrilo or Team Speak.
Well I need a similar one for my private organization. We host a conference every summer and usually we have 10 members attend.

To use Ventrilo you need a Ventrilo client server to setup but I don't think my home bandwidth will allow me to setup one, especially the attendees from different country.

I know there maybe one or two free Ventrilo public servers which I could use but I doubt the speed and the stability.
In the past we used Yahoo messenger because the bandwidth was larger than Skype (free) and plus it was a free service. MSN has the smallest bandwidth.

I don't know if anyone knows one that is similar to Ventrilo or an online client that allow us to do a conference. We need to talk over the mic and text message as well. This is why Yahoo is the best option out of all the others.

I might have more than 10 this year. So if the bandwidth could somewhat larger than 10 (range from 10 - 30 people) will be great....



Thanks.

Yeah a server, what day is it?

The public servers would probably handle what you need. You could also use Skype to talk via voice.

Hi Showstopper, I appreicate it. I can't tell you now because I have to arrange a day and detail with them.
Please allow me to keep in touch with you later.

Smith, thanks for the info. I might test it with them (using P-S) first.

Doesn't MSN/AOL/Yahoo/etc all support voice chat now?

But as stated above, only Yahoo has the largest bandwidth among those free IM software. But I kinda dislike Yahoo.

I have never try TS but there is no time for me to wait for TS3. Plus, TS requires a server too LOL....

I use Ventrilo Daily. The only downfall, if you have a personal version, it only supports 8 connections. There are plenty out there, as a few people have stated, that you can jump into and use :D.

You could get the pro edition without paying, easy enough.
