Video conferencing has been the major issue forever for me!
I've been researching that field for a couple of years now. Still can't find the ultimate solution for Mac.
The problem is that most of my clients are on Windows. Also, I can't force them to install whatever the sofwtare I choose. And many of my major corporation clients are behind the corporate router/firewall which prevents data from coming in/out (depending on the software).
Yeah, so nothing worked for me except for the ones that comes with Windows as default like Win Messenger and NetMeeting. I'm a heavy Mac user, but I use a Vaio just for video confing with my clients.
If your client or whoever is willing to install software you choose, I think you've got a number of good ones. iSPQ is nice, but I hate seeing the whole community before me since I only need to communicate with MY people.
There's also this software called iVisit which, I think, is still in beta. It has simpler interface which I like better than iSPQ.
My personal conclusion: Mac is not good for video confing. We Mac users don't have many web cam choices either.
Oh, and IP phone.
- NetPhone: very simple/good voice over IP. You need to have the IP address of you and your receiver. Good interface. If you or your friend is behind the rounter, you'll some problems.

- Mac2Phone: PC-to-PC and PC-to-Phone. Very bad interface. Seems to work OK though. Go and search the web to find more info.
EDIT: NetPhone is spelled NetFone. And it's compatible with PC/OS9/OSX
