My dad is going away. I want to be able to audio and video chat with him. I have iChat (im on a mac) with a built in isight and mic.. He has a Dell (Windows XP) and a built in mic and a not built in quickcam. What software can go on his comp so that they will work?

pretty much any 3rd party software has that capability. Though you should have MSN MEssenger on your machines this will be the most easiest way to communicate (because it is already there, no need to install other programs)
If your looking for something where you can use a conventional telephone style system then Skype is probably your best bet as they produce telephone style handsets. One thing to remember though if you have broadband and use any internet based communication. I.E. MSN Messenger, Yahoo or AOL they are all FREE. So your literally spoilt for choice.
Which ever you choose your are going to be only limited by the power of your two machines Web cams communications may break up of have serious lag (slow down)
Hope this helps

He definately needs a camera. A lot of software can do chatting with audio and video like msn, yahoo, aim, skype and etc.

Get MSN Messenger, you can either choose to audio chat or video, or combine the both and audio chat while on video, it's an ace little programe and simple to use. =)

No, i'm afraid no longer. no longer even Skype can do 3-way calls. Your superb wager is for each of you to acquire a software like ooVoo, which permits you to have 3-way conversations. although, you purely get to do 3-way conversations for loose for a month (31 days), after which you get charged, i think of it relatively is approximately 10cents a minute. wish this facilitates!

You guys can get yahoo messenger. They have video and if you both have mic's-audio should work too. .....as long as he HAS a camera (i think it can be any type) on his comp, it should work

Most 3rd party chat programs support that. Try Goggle or AIM

Skype is awesome. But you will each need a webcam. Any webcam will do, look on passwird.com to find deals on webcams so your dad can get one too.
