The bread and butter communication, both with remote clients and with remote developers, is with what might be called "URL's & Skype".<br>Flash URL's through the Skype chat, and "show".<br><br>
Then with the Skype outage (traumatic), "Plan B" was with Google talk, which works very well. And in the chat department, I hadn't known about MSN's "handwriting" sharing feature.<br><br>But the Drupal Dojo group perfected the use of computer screen sharing VNC with reflector, so that it was easy for the teacher to hook up to a VNC reflected server, and for eager learners to run VNC clientes. So, sound channel was Skype (even with 20-30 people on, it worked OK, then in the last stretch began to flake out with more than 10) but could be MSN (which allows conferencing) too. One-on-one can be google talk, which has excellent quality too.
<br><br>But the "URL's and Skype" works so well in that it is great for most needs and doesn't require much setup.<br><br>But I am eager to learn of other convenient alternatives.<br><br>Victor Kane<br><a href="http://awebfactory.com.ar">
