For awhile now, I have been wanting to find a really nice chat program that does voice. A lot of people now have static high speed connections to the Internet so it wouldn’t be that hard really for us to save a little on our phone bills. The problem is that there are some nice chat programs but mostly for Windows. I bumped into this program today and found that it runs on both Windows and Linux platforms, Speak Freely. There is a TCL front end for the program so be sure to download that as well. One of the cool features of Speak Freely is the capability to encrypt your messages using PGP or other known methods. Now that is what I call an open source twist to chatting.
