I recently started reading about VOIP and received help in this
Newsgroup. As a result I gave Skype a try and found it to be very
good.

Reading further I note that Spontania4IM plug-in should allow video
contact but during my own attempt the "connecting" message never
progressed to making a connection.

A Google search suggests this may be a continuing problem. I see that
vSkype.com is also offering a plug-in for Video.

Has anyone used Spontania successfully and what experiences have
people had of vSkype?
