Ventrilo

he Ventrilo client and server are both available as freeware for use with up to 8 people on the same server (rented servers can maintain as many as 100+ people). The server software is available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, or Unix variants such as Linux, Kopi, Solaris, NetBSD and FreeBSD. The client is available for Windows and Mac OS X. Presently[when?], however, the Mac OS X client is still unable to properly use most servers, due to a lack of support for the widely used GSM codec.[citation needed] A Linux version is planned, but Mangler, a third-party Linux client, is available under the GPL license. There is also Ventrilode, a third-party client for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
