    So I play World of Warcraft and I need Ventrilo VoIP program to do the raids and the only way I can run the old version is through windows. When i am playing WoW I want to be able to communicate over Ventrillo whichrequires a hotkey (currently left-control) to be pressed to activate my mic. What I want to do it be able to press a key combination in WoW and it cause the hotkey in the Windows Machine to be entered. Is there any way I can do this?

    I'd love to know the answer to this as well.

    Until then, if you can get your guild to use the speex algorithm you cn use ventrillo's os x client.

    Bit I too am looking for a way to use the XP client from within WoW under OS X.

    Is WoW on your Mac side?

    AppleScript might have an answer... Have you looked into it?

    I'd have no idea how to do this. I am sure it's simple, but not to me. :)

    I'm no expert in AppleScript, my focus is server admin and php web development. Basically you would want to make a script launch on a hotkey, and then have it pass a command to the windows side. Take a look at Apple's Developers site to get started, or maybe someone else with more experience can take over, it takes me a while to write my scripts...
