Are you familiar with ICQ (I seek you)?
This is a great communications tool used by 3 millionsubscribers.

NetMeeting is a program for audio and video telephonyvia the internet. It functions best with a Pentium computer.It works quite well but is subject to some breaking up.I personally use the ils.family.four11.com server but severalothers are available. In the NetMeeting window go to the Toolsmenu - Options - to set up the various options.Win95 comes preloaded with ver2.0 NetMeeting but I would suggestuninstalling this version and installing ver 2.11 (version 3.1 requires MS Explorer 4). For 2.11 information and downloading go to:
First click "download", then click on the arrow to find the version you want.
Double Threat: ICQ and NetMeeting
Install both Mirabilis and Microsoft NetMeeting for the most complete free buddy paging and audio and video conferencing system.
Running in the background, ICQ alerts you to the presence of your friends online. Once notified, you can begin your online audio or video chat. We'd like to see your phone company do all that for free.
The FileDirect feature also lets you send files directly to another ICQ user with crash recovery, multifile, and directory transfer. This is far more efficient than e-mail attachments--especially for large files.
