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.
