We tried that, but it sucked (probably because it was hosted by sektor).
Not to mention there's a really small limit on the number of users.
I can host a Skype conference of up to 25 people. Ventrilo can hold... 8/16 (can't remember which) at most.
Skype also has better audio quality.
wrong
if you use current versions of ventrilo yes a personal hosted vent cant hold more then 8 or 16 people however if you go with vent version like 2.1 area
you can host one of unlimited size pretty much (i think its got a like 200 person cap or suttin)
for free
they stopped this because people who rented or owned server boxes could create their own ventrilos for free now they charge companies a fee for a license to rent the servers
