You might be interested to know that Yahoo Messenger does in fact work. Plus it supports group conferencing which is really quite rad. http://messenger.yahoo.com/ I gave up trying to get AIM working between the two.

(And how weird do I feel posting a comment <em>on my own site</em>?) I came across a pointer to the following rather informative page: <a href="http://vowe.net/archives/004135.html" title="vowe dot net :: Success: Video conference with a PC user">Success: Video conference with a PC user</a>. It's looking more and more like cameras are required on both ends to make this work, which seems thoroughly stupid, but there you have it. I figure that at some point in the next month or so Dad and I will both acquire cameras and try it again. Thanks for the feedback, folks! (And how weird do I feel posting a comment on my own site?)

Do both participants have to have a camera, or can one have one and the other not? Either way, it didn't work.

The AIM user accepted, and the iChat side said waiting still. Granted, we were both behind NAT, but I've had no problems with iChat to iChat video and audio chats before ... I think it's just a press release, as I've never found someone that's gotten them to work together. I’ve tried several times, both with 2.1beta and final, all with no luck.
