Don't know if anyone has heard or seen anything like this but
what I'm looking for is a way to setup voice communications
between two computers over the internet, IP I guess.
Without having to go through some "internet telephone"
service. I just want to connect up the computers direct
over IP. Anyone know of something that will do this?


Thanks

Windows Instant Messenger does this, doesn't it?

Look into chat programs or chat rooms that can transfer files
on the fly, or one that talks right to the sound board...

I know it's doable, because I did it mumblemumble years ago,
but it was a winders system, and I don't remember what S/W
or chatroom I was using (or which of these it was anyway.)

Good Luck!

Try openh323... I don't know about your internet bandwith but for me
works well (56k modem in greece). So, take a look at www.openh323.org,
and for linux use gnomemeeting. It works well for both sound/voice and video

Try 'Teamspeak':

http://www.teamspeak.org/

OK, you will need one machine to act as a server, but other than that it is
very good - and the quality is excellent. Servers easily handle a lot of
people.

I'll second a vote for TeamSpeak. Sound quality is outstanding, and
setting up a server on one of the boxes is a snap. The server even has
a built-in web interface to help you configure it.

Yes, it's a good bit of kit - shame it isn't open source
