Michael, we tried iVisit, and yes, it works, but the interface is pretty awful, so we would really like to get iChat/AIM working. We have got to the stage were we can invite each other for a video chat, but after trying to connect for a minute or two my Mac says I am not responding and my Sons PC says that it is unable to complete the connection. All firewalls etc that we can think of are disabled. Any more suggestions? Thanks Michael
