You may have to do a bit of port forwarding on your Dad's PC etc, but once it's set up, it's all sweet :) Hi Matt

Or does iChat on the Mac talk to Yahoo/MSN webcam or something? The best results I've had with Si have been Ekiga on my Linux box and OhphoneX on his Mac. <i>When</i> it works, it works pretty well!

Admittedly mum can't do full screen video, infact her video view size is only around 160x120 pixels. But it's still not bad. Quality, whilst not excellent is more than adequate. Not sure how it compares to AV stuff you and Si have been trying? Of course if you can convince your old boy to go back to Mac you can take advantage of H.264 :) Phil FWIW Matt I have no problems doing AV link up with my Mum between Mac>PC.
