As for as "free"solutions go, altenatives include, you might try ooVoo, Tokbox, or Flashmeeting. http://www.oovoo.com/ http://www.tokbox.com http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/home.html On a Mac, the excellent iChat AV supports up to 4 simultaneous video participants. There are also several good commercial systems available, such as Adobe Connect Pro, Marratech, or Elluminate. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatconnectpro/ http://www.marratech.com/ http://elluminate.com/ Elluminate offers free 3-person rooms. They charge for accounts that support more users. I hope this helps a bit, there are more solutions out there, but this is what I could come up with in 2 minutes. Feel free to contact me directly via e-mail. Best, Felix -- Felix Kronenberg Asst.
