I am a hearing person with many deaf friends. Most of them have sorenson VRS... while I, unwilling to pay $150 for one, have a webcam. We can't seem to find any way for us to chat. I have a Mac, so NetMeeting doesn't work. Any other ideas?

Or, try this program, SquidCam:

Dennis said:Uh, yes they will. They all allow for IP address usage. What leads you to believe it won't work?
Edit: Okay, I looked again on iChat, and I can't seem to find the feature that states one can connect to IP addresses. I also haven't tried out the Squidcam for Macintoshes, but the Windows version CAN connect to IP addresses, deducing from the two top menu items on this picture:
I will continue to look into iChat for the feature that led me to believe that connecting to IP addresses is possible, but again, EDGE, you don't state WHY you don't believe they'll work with VP-100's. If these programs can connect via IP addresses, you can't say they don't work.

bgmk82j said:Yes theres software to use to make VRS call, however I got the useful information on how to use on Macintosh, and its
http://www.fedvrs.us/help/mac.asp
This info from fedvrs, however it will work any VRS and it just useful direction on where download drivers, software and etc.
To use SorensonVRS their IP address is hold.sorensonvrs.com
It can be use on NetMeeting too if you dial hold.sorensonvrs.com thats where VP-100 dialing to to VRS.
