Erm, something to think about with the vent server.... when the month is out do you want me to keep it going? If so can some of you throw some pennies at me. I'll sort out methods closer to the time - just something that needs a bit of a decision before it runs out.

It is £6 pcm currently. If everyone was to just sling whatever sized contribution to me then I can just keep paying it out of that until it dries up again. Or something.

On the whole voice thingy

Vent... For now I've found it to be the best quality voice program out there. But you have to pay for it.

Teamspeak. Second choice only because its free, and anyone can set one up. Hell I could set it up at my house on my server, and just let it run. As the server is always on as well.

Anything else? No clue, havent tried anything. Thought I'd give this eve thing a try and see how it works.

Fear send the info this way as well.

Q's

Teamspeak is only free for non-profit organisations (which we would of course qualify) The biggest problem with running it at home is for every connection you lose a fairly large chunk of your upstream bandwidth until it saturates. Then you will see choke on the server (which will manifest itself as breaking up voice), and the saturated upstream will then kill off your downstream as the SYN packets stop reaching their destination. It is the same sort of thing when you send out an email with large attachments and while it is sending the rest of your net practically stops still.

With most broadband connections being asynchronous to the detriment of upstream you'll soon hit this wall. How many connections will depend on the sample-rate and codec used.

Righto, it seems the consensus is we keep the ventrilo server. I will PM people my account number and sort code and create a paypal account for this to keep it separate. Obviously BACS is preferred as paypal won't put their thieving fingers in the transaction, but we'll have paypal as a fall back.

I'll post something in about a weeks time.
