Ventrilo-like software for Mac OSX?

[Tremulant]

Does anyone know of a ventrilo like software for OSX?

I have a friend who plays WoW on his mac and he's the only one who can't chat with us on Vent.

I know vent is supposed to be working on a mac client, but I haven't heard or seen anything yet.

Oh, and I know skype has a mac client, but can you have one room where everyone can talk? (I guess like a conference call)

do a search for "teamspeex". its a new beta that runs on os x that lets you connect to TeamSpeak servers. I havent tried it yet (will tonight) but i hope it works since lots of groups us TS.
my current set up has an old 233 Mhz pc laptop to run TS2.0, i should also be able to put Ventillo on it. I then play WoW on the G5

Awesome.

I did search, found an article about it but the actual site for teamspeex isn't working. Also on the official teamspeak site, they mention it but they don't mention much else.

Any idea on a good teamspeak host?

I've found a mirror:

Oh and OS X 10.4 is required.

Oh cool.

I had found another mirror from http://www.windowstracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/28155 as well.

I'm not sure if he has 10.4 though. I hope he does, cause it is a fairly new laptop (I think 2 months old maybe).

I've found your link too, but it's only a redirect to the programmer's (dead) website. Every Mac sold after April 29 should've come with 10.4.

I tired it out last night. On my powermac G5 i could only hear people talking but couldnt get my microphone (plugged into a USB imic) to broadcast.
I installed it on a G5 iMac (after updating to 10.4) and it seemed to work with the built in mic. I was heading out of the house so i wasnt positive but i think people heard me and the "voice loopback" worked (it didnt on the PM G5).
Anyone have any luck with it on a G5 powermac?

I didn't test the application myself but the support so far is limited to the Speex codec (Code 9 and maybe a few others), so if the server you contacted used CELP or GSM it couldn't work. Did you try to connect to the same servers with the iMac and the PowerMac?
