One each side you need a PC with a web cam (optional) and a microphone (required).
Laptops have built-in microphones and there are web cams with built-in mics as well.
Then install yahoo messenger on both, although there are many other alternatives (MSN, AOL, Skype, etc.)

Hi,
You would need a web cam on both ends for you to see the babies. I would recommend picking up a webcam for about 25-30 USD (creative, logitech, microsoft lifecam, etc) so you can see them back.
From there…all a matter of choosing a video calling product that works for you. Possible options:
Skype (download required)
Tokbox (used to work there); no download required
