Audio and video chat are at the very top end of the range - you can actually see and hear
users instead of just avatars, and the systems are basically a variant on
videoconferencing.
But you will need a good Internet connection (in most cases, a very fast modem) and fast
PC to be able to handle the large amount of data involved in audio-visual transmissions.
Another drawback is that there's isn't a large number of available chat rooms. And some of
the software can be a bit expensive.
NetMeeting
Or you can always try hooking up a camera and microphone to Microsoft's NetMeeting, which
is included on the oceanfree.net CD-Rom, and can be used for chatting across the Net to
someone also running NetMeeting. It integrates audio, data and videoconferencing into one
package.
