How do i talk/vid conference over net?

Ok my girlfriends on the other side of the world, the phone bill's huge but we both have a webcam headphones and a little microphone. What is the easiest (not neccessarily the 'best') way of being able to see each other and being able to talk to each other. it doesn't have to be the same app to do both but it does need to be free really!

i can't find anything useful or helpful on the software i've got, we both use MSN but i dunno if it can do clever things like that cos it seems to crash every time i open it at the moment....

MSN is probably your best bet or maybe Yahoo! If it's crashing try re-installing or repairing the install you have now.

I can't offer any help on this topic, but I'm interested in doing the same thing. I've seen folks use Microsoft NetMeeting to talk, but that may require access to a server. Also, I think that CUSeeMe may do the same with video.

Hope this helps ...

I've used Net meeting a lot too before I moved to PA. Get a headset and get it set up! It works.
