I don't have any recommendations, but he should be able to hook up with you by IM as easily as he can get to a phone, possibly even with voice IM.

Thanks...got the IM lined up with the camera and mic, we were just trying to cover all bases. So far nobody in his unit knows if the Army will let them use msn, yahoo...etc.


Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

I get the impression from the TV news that IM is widely used for this purpose.
