Someone emailed and asked what ventrilo was, so here's an article on it:
Ventrilo sets the industry standard for Voice over IP (VoIP) group communications software. By offering surround sound positioning and special sound effects on a per user, per channel, per server or global configuration level, the program provides each user the option to fully customize exactly how they wish to hear sounds from other users or events.
Ventrilo is best known for it's superior sound quality and minimal use of CPU resources. It features a simple user interface that any first time computer user can learn quickly.
Ventrilo can be used for home/personal applications like talking to friends and family, or playing organized online games where Voice Communication can make them more exciting and productive. It can also be used in an enterprise environment as a productivity tool for conducting long distance group discussions.
A Ventrilo server could be used to complement a web site that has voice interaction with its creators, or for communicating with other people who share a common interest. If voice communication isn't your cup of tea then you can always use Ventrilo as a more reliable form of IRC without the hassles or frustration of trying to teach someone how to setup a real IRC client.
