Brad and others- all good suggestions, we do need to consider other options.
--- Those of you who use some of these alternative methods, all so far
mentioned appear to be computer based, how about writing up a short
description of how to get it and use it. Get people familiar with the idea,
as in informed and then we all can make an educated choice. 

Thank you

That would be very cool. However  muting the mikes I'd think would be
necessary to avoid extraneous background noise. Also there is Ventrilo which
can be had fairly cheaply. A buddy of mine bought a room license for like
$28 for up to 15 people for a year. The need to  mute a mike isn't necessary
as it is automatically muted unless you use the talk key. Some folks are
familiar with this program too from other  internet  community gatherings.
