Hi,

Ventriloe is another one that flies under both major os'.  So, if you decide
not to continue developing your distro of speak freely, users won't be
totally stuck.

Insidentally, I didn't know speak freely worked under windows.  Where would
one go about getting the windows version?  Unless the blind linux comunity
is going ventriloe, in which case I'm there, smile.
