Ventrilo is a tool for voice communication. It's fast and light with excellent sound quality and we got it working in Regina in a few minutes.
The client can be downloaded from http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php
for Windows and Mac. I had to use Wine (Crossover) to get it to work
under linux but it works smooth nonetheless except for one modification:
(see http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=3936&iTestingId=5557)
Under Mac we had to change the push to talk button to F15 to get it to work on Zisis computer; any other other unused key will work).
Password: same as for writer on the DocDB
Hints for setup:
- Select a user. Click "New" or "->" to the right. Your name can be anything you like.
- Select a server. Click "New" or "->" to the right. The name can be anything (i.e. "Vent"). The hostname is currently "lafayette.phys.uregina.ca" and the port by default should be "3784". The password is currently the same as the DocDb. Click "OK"
- Now "Connect"
- Settings: Under Mac we had to change the push to talk button to Control (CTRL left, is default for Windows users) to get it to work on Zisis computer. PTT (push to talk) should be enabled)
- It should be working. (If you talk you should see your speaker icon change from red to green).
- P.S. the server took 30 seconds to setup as well as the client. There are professional versions of this as well. I believe the free version of the server is limited to 8 clients.
