The ichat 1.5 update that I'm upgrading to tonight specifically mentions
compatibility with AOL Istant messenger for Windows Video chat feature, I
have used the audio chat before with friends in NYC and it works really
well. (Both Macs, alas)

Does anyone know of a macintosh game chat utility, ala teamspeak or roger
wilco that works in OS X? (wilco has a 9 beta)

Thanks
