I'm having problem's getting wine to work .. so that little project is 
belayed for the moment.  Maybe someone could do a presentation on wine?

Perhaps what I should have said more accurately, was that my specific 
chat client, gaim, doesn't provide me with any option to voice connect 
via google, so I am not certain that my statement regarding using ONLY 
Google's chat client is true.  Do you have any suggestions regarding 
other clientswe may try?  Or shall I move to restoring a winders image 
and start sniffing?
