VOICE TO VOICE communicating offered now by the MFCA

[Tomkat]

After talking to Weirdwolf, I set up a Ventrilo program for the MFCA. What is Ventrilo? It is person-person voice communicating. It is free to download the program, although the server is a small fee for MFCA. Why do we need Ventrilo? Think of it, the chat at the bottom of the page is seldom used, however, this is face-to-face, if you will, (atleast voice-to-voice). Get on here and get live tips rather than through emails or pms. Think of being able to get in your league's private channel and discuss rules, or meeting times, or just plain old trash talk your next opponent. That's one of the best things, you can talk to ALL league members at once, not 1 at a time on the phone! I think this is a great tool we need to take advantage of, and once you try it, you'll love it. It will take some work on my part to get people set up, but I am willing to do it. I have added some sample channels so you can see some of the possibilities. All you need is a microphone and headset or speakers. You can get a cheap headset with mic at Wal-Mart for about $15.


Go to one of the two links below and download the client version and install it.
Windows download: http://www.ventrilo.com/dlprod.php?id=1

Once it's installed, start it up. Click on the arrow to the right of "User name", then click "new", type in your username, then click "OK" then "OK" again.

To the right of "Server", click on the right arrow and click "New", type in "MFCA". Where it says "Hostname or IP", type in TX3.LeetVent.com , then where it says "Port" type in 4002, then click "OK".

Now all you have to do is click "Connect" and you should be in. By default, you will probably be set to use a "Push-to-talk" key. For the time being, click on "Setup" over on the right. Then click the "Voice" tab at the top, and look at the second line from the top on the left which should be the push-to-talk line, make sure it is unchecked and click ok.

If you have any questions, just hollar.
