? about video conferencing/web chat
I'm trying to set up a video link to my mom in Seattle for next weekend, for my son's 1st bday party. We both have web cams. What's the best way to do this?

you can download any of a pile of free programs.

sign up for a free account and then connect to one another.

3. Welllllllll
For a one-way thing, you could use any amount of free websites... But I doubt thats what you wanted.

If you already have Y!m (yahoo instant messanger) you could use that. Be Warned: This is the only easy way to do a c2c with an IM program. There are some 3rd party AIM tools, but none of them seem to work.
