JAB, ICQ does have very limited voice facilities. You can record an send 15 seconds as a wav file to a user who is on line. It might not be a lot but I have used it. once to explain to somebody how to pronounce Llandudno, the town I live in and on seveal occasions to identify the name of a tune or to compare versions of a tune - a recent example of this was I was Little Musgrave cropped up in a conversation and we wanted to find out if we were using the same tune.

Hiya, I don't know if anyone would be interested in doing this...but it would be very convienient if someone were to create an ICQ ID called &MUDCAT and set it up to automatically accept all chat requests. this would serve as a chat room for mudcatters. It would have to be someone that is online a lot, and doesn't mind leaving ICQ running.

I understand that most people, myself included couldn't do this.

Mulligan, I don't know exactly what is involved in running that sort of chat room except to say that I for one am not able to be online all of the time.

As far as I am aware, Max is still interested in developing his own Mudcat chat room. My feeling is to wait and see what happens here before trying to set something like that up and assuming it does happen, that has to be the best solution as far as I'm concerned.

Ok, I'm game. My # is 26740134, although I hear there are problems if you try to "chat" with more than one person at a time. Anyone else experience this?

there are only a few people who have the problem when there are more than 2 people in the room.... I have suggested they contact ICQ...

we did have an @mudcat room... which worked for a while (off and on).. then one day it mysteriously turned into @sex.... true story (honest),,,, I had some fun trying to convince them that it had been a folk music discussion the day before, (there is an old thread on this if anyone wants to look it up)..... they asked me to sing a song.. so I did "maids when you're young"... *grin*

Is started another room called folk music #46015364.... it is still there.. but it requires me to be online all the time and I'm not.......

the best idea is still to go online on the hour.. and lurk.. see if someone else turns up.....
