I have a windows XP computer with cable modem. My daughter at collage has a MAC notebook (new) and has access to both T1 and DSL in her dorm. We want to videoconference, but she believes that MACs and PCs cannot videoconference together. This is especially problematic because I am technologically-delayed. What specific hardware/software products can bring us together? Macless Mom

You can use Yahoo messanger but I don't believe there is audio support for the mac side yet.

Thank you for the advice. I have emailed my daughter with the Yahoo messenger link that shows video conferencing for PC and MAC and will let her techie friends determine whether the two systems can communicate visually and with audio. MaclessMom.
