Hi McDave, have you tried Chax? Really nice little program that supplements iChat.
A lot of people have problems trying to get iChat to work with port problems. I recommend using Lighthouse (shareware) as it is great for port issues. If you have a cheap router with poorly implemented uPnP you might still have problems though.
Why can't Apple make iChat as easy to set up and use as Skype? When you do get iChat to work on both ends, the performance is very good. Maybe it will make a great comeback in the next iPhone. Here's hoping...
Cheers, will try Chax, no port problems as iChat 4 only uses one now. Can't agree more, new screen name needs to be built right into the App (with a one-click mail setup option) and crawl your address book for buddies.
