Re: [orca-list] OT Orca, Skype and accessibility workaround

Hi,
OK, maybe I completely missed something. Is Teamspeak/Teamtalk the same
thing? if so, I fail to see why that is mentioned here.  As far as I'm
concerned, their are no (nix( clients available for Teamtalk/Teamspeak. So
their fore, its not at all revelant to the discussion. Pidgin? Great. Does
not have voice chat available, but then again, that's not at all
important, as i never actually use it the few times when I actually use
Windows. As far as why Skype is being mentioned, that's simply because of
its popularity. Want a free alternative to Skype that has the same audio
quality? Well, then, perhaps GSM will do the trick. Or then, their's also
Speex. Then again, there's existing H.323/SIP standards which already do
have client-to-client operability.
