I am afraid there doesn't appear to be any messenger client that can do voice chat with Yahoo messenger in Linux at present. I have been through this myself. I ended up with two choices, either use the Windows laptop at home or use Skype. None of these choices was comfortable. For the former, I have to use a different machine and for the latter I have to use a closed protocol which is known to have back doors installed (at least in China and Europe I think). I chose the latter since at least I can be at the same machine. I consider both of these to be equally compromised in terms of security. If your users are not reluctant to run another chat client, ekiga can be a potential voice chat application. I am not sure how secure it is though. Regards and good luck. -- Please reply to this list only. I read this list on its corresponding newsgroup on gmane.org.
