I've finally managed to set up PalTalk. It only works if I turn my firewall off. Not much point in having a firewall if you have to switch it off...

Generally, I have to say I really don't like Paltalk.

On my computer the sound quality is worse than Hearme, and however much I tinker with my audio settings, I still get distorted sound.

Also, any software that automatically installs icons on my start menu, in the system tray, and particularly in the 'startup' folder really annoys me.

The constantly flashing banner ad is also far from great...

I've not been to hearme for a while, so I don't know how bad hearme has got. This however seems like a poor substitute.

Jon F - I'd misread your post when I moaned about system specs. I'd thought you meant that PalTalk needed 233Mhz.
