WS Chat -- WS Chat allows real-time bi-directional chatting
(text-based) over the internet using physical or SLIP/PPP
connections. WS Chat also makes use of event driven programming
-- it uses almost no processor time when not in use. WS Chat
includes an automated answering machine and address-book. The
newer versions now offer on-line help as well. This is a beggerware
release -- meaning the author would appreciate donations for his
work, but it's not required. Also, future versions of WS Chat will
not be free. Positives: Two-way text-based interaction, event
driven programming, answering machine Negatives: Only
text-based communication, few options
Internet Global Phone Project -- IGP uses voice compression
technology to allow two-way voice communication over the
internet. It differs from Internet Phone by first having to record and
compress a message before sending it. The resulting communication
will obviously be slower than Internet Phone. Also, there are no
hotlists to help users find other users to talk to. IGP will work on a
386, but the sound quality will not be as high as on other machines.
The help file would not load when I tried to access it; also, there
are very few instructions and options to help novice users get
started. Positives: Two-way voice communication over the
internet Negatives: Message must be saved and compressed first,
few options and on-line
