yes they are.
I have heard of Skype, but not much beyond that.
How is the quality of the video and audio?
Is the connection hosted on a their server?

Best thing about skype is it is free!
Video quality depends on bandwidth. You can enlarge the video by clicking on it in the "buddy bar" during a call.
I believe it is a distributed peer to peer type service.
Free to call or video another computer with skype and really low rates for calling land lines and cell phones especially overseas.

Are we talking within the same network or over the internet?
I've used Netmeeting and VNC for internal meetings, Webex.com and gotomeeting.com for external meetings. Netmeeting works fine with the old Polycom units we had, so easy for a single user to join a conference from their desk.

Actually, it would be for us (here at the home plant) communicating with techs in the field. We are thinking our techs could use something like the Sprint Mobile (3G?) cards for getting on line.
Nope...that's why I was asking.
In some plants, the customer may allow us access to the internet through their network, but for the ones who don't, we wanted to have a solution that would work at least half way decent.
