So whats wrong with Skype or Gtalk ? Those run on an Phone as well ? Is this another VOIP service ? I am sorry but i fail to see the (business)case when there is stuff like Skype/GTalk etc around.

teamspeak and ventrilo are the two standards for gaming, from a feature standpoint. skype/gtalk etc. just dont have most of the features these two have.

ventrilo has an issue because only the 8 seat version is free, where teamspeak is free up to 512 users (for non profits like gamers), so ventrilo isnt really practical either, unless you want to pay an external hosting site for it.

but why pay for anything when you have a perfectly good ReadyNAS sitting around, powered up, with little to do most of the day? these are perfect applications to run in the background, as they take little cpu power.

i also understand there are quite a few non profits who use teamspeak for their intercompany communications, worldwide.

in any event, i used to run a ventrilo server (since the old version of teamspeak was pretty bad imo) but now that teamspeak 3 is out, we moved to that; and it is SO much better than anything else i have used. The only trouble i have now is that it has to run on (yet another) computer that is powered up 24/7, and im just tired of paying the electric bill.
