Skype for windows is in ... i dont know... version 2.5 or something. the linux version is 12.0.18 , with 1.3 still on Beta. Video was introduced in the 2.x series at least, so I think you'll be out of luck with native video on Skype. there *may* be a 3rd party app that may speak to the skype api to allow for video, but i haven't heard or seen of any of the unix world. I'd love to be proven wrong though :) B _________________________ {Beto|Norberto|Numard} Meijome If you find God, do you get to keep him/her? I speak for myself, not my employer. Contents may be hot.
