As everyone is probably already aware, we recently made some changes on our ventrilo server.
The main reason for the switch was to allow MAC users to access vent. The down side of this has been several users have had nothing but problems since the switch. The most common are, constant disconnects/reconnects & some people can only hear certain people while other can't. Mike & I have spent a lot of time trying to find and answer or fix to solve these issues. So far, we've had little or no luck. The chance of solving these problems seem to be nil. Right now we have two options left to us. 1) Switch the server back to how it was, which may or may not solve the problem. Personally I don't like this option as it would leave MAC users behind. 2) Dump Ventrilo and change to a TeamSpeak server. The reason we originaly went with Ventrilo over teamspeak 2+ years ago, is because the sound quality on TS was junk. With the last few updates, TS now offers the same sound quality as Ventrilo. Also TS now supports MAC clients, so there won't be any problems with leaving some users behind. What I would really like to know is if there is anyone currently using TS who has problems with it? Please limit responses to people who are using the current TS version, not problems you may of had with older versions as they have problably been fixed in an update. Each platform has it's own pro's an con's For me the biggest plus with TS over Vent is, Teamspeak uses UDP which has much lower packet overhead compared to Ventrilo's TCP implementation. The single Ventrilo ability I will miss is how it announces who joins the server or channel. TS only announces when a player joins but not WHO joins like Vent.

Sorry. don't think so QUOTE Druid had my admiration and even though he has always come across as an arrogant, snide and very many times a smartass in posts and pm's S@bot aka Little Silver |
