Thanks for the replies but I did literally mean talk as in voice. PC to PC MSN voice is amazing but there does not seem to be a mac client that will do it.
how could you be envious of MSN voice? ichat voice/video is so much easier and better, works with the new AIM, and in Tiger will support 4 way video and 10 way audio.

Except it doesn't... I've tried my hardest to even get ichat to talk with PC aim (voice) and it won't work, not even on the computer right next to me (firewalls down and everything). Also doesn't work for any of my friends (who have pc's). But the PC can voice chat.

theres a PC chat program called Gaim that handles everything under the sun. I use it at work and absolutely love the interface. can someone familiar tell me where I can find a client that offers the same type of interface as gaim for Mac. I like iChat but dont like having all the windows seperate, gaim uses tabs. Any advice is appreciated
ever tried adium? Seriously a nifty chat client. Very very minamalist if you want it to be. Can use tabs also. Supports many services. You can create beautiful windowless buddylists. Still in heavy development, and missing several features like audio/video, some file transfer stuff, but otherwise it is such a pleasure to use and extremely customizable Interface.
Its my favorite chat client on any platform, as long as i don't need to do video or audio.

Thanks
However, the problem I am still having is Voice mac to Voice PC. The text side of things is a no brainer.

D.
Are you talking about a Chat client for MSN? Just go to Microsoft Mactopia
www.mactopia.com and download the client. Same as it is on Windows.
If that's not what you need, please explain.

DMSN - Java based, a bit slow but lots of features.. MSN buddy pics, own emoticons, and they were working on webcam support.
AMSN - MSN buddy pics, own emoticons, abit CPU hungry sometimes.
Adium - MSN buddy pics, yahoo +msn +icq + aol .. really good
All these are FREE
MSN sucks. USE ichat AV and adium
