That's like asking if the computer is turned on.

I wouldn't want to see the computer that someone was able to connect the iSight to other then through firewire.

Well since he has Tiger, he's already got iChat AV.

xwk, are you saying that you don't get the webcam option when you select your Buddy's name? Can he see the webcam option next to you when he selects your name? Can he initiate the chat with you?

Do you get as far as 'trying to connect?' You and/or he may also have to check your firewall settings. Here's some info direct from Apple on what ports to open in the firewall

I've read reports of PC users being able to use Trillian Pro for a better experience.

Pretty sure windows 98 doesn't support aims video chat feature. Nor does it support the latest aim. I do video chat with my Windows pals all the time. The big question is why do they have such a small unresizeable window?
