    I've been using MS's Messenger software for video chatting back home and it works great, but it only allows two people to talk to each other. I need one that allows at least 3 (or even 4 if possible) people to video chat - but there are so many free ones that it's taking forever to evaluate/research it - anybody know of a good one? We all have good/zippy internet access.

    Thanks in advance

    I was going to suggest skype, but that only supports 2 people according to their web site.

    Yeah - thats the problem I keep running into - seems like you always need to pay for the extra features. Digging through all those clients takes a long time...

    Check out the "festoon" plugin for skype. It looks like it might allow multi conferencing.
