I've been looking at paltalk. What do you all reccommend? I want to talk
long distance without paying a big phone bill.

Does MSN use Internet Explorer? I'm a netscape user. It looks like MSN
only allows 15 second recorded messages to be sent. Is this right? I
would like a program that would be similar to using a telephone in the
sense that you can talk back and forth.

I've downloaded Yahoo and will try it. I'll email you when I am ready to
have a test run.

Thanks
Daphne in Canada

Without doubt, Yahoo! Messenger.

This is made by the kazaa people and it was spyware. Wouldn't that make
skype a possible spyware program?

I've monitored ports and packets while activating and using Skype, and see
nothing unusual. SpybotS&D also finds nothing. Nothing I can find through
searching that indicates Skype contains any spyware, although a lot of
those questions were raised.

((I had the same reaction when I learned Skype was done by the Kazaa
guys.))
