So I saw that a Physiologic purchased a Ventrilo for Pocket Legends so I'm here to show you guys how to set it up and get you in there so you can hopefully get active on it :).
Click HERE (http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?18143-Unofficial-Pocket-Legends-Ventrilo-Server&highlight=ventrilo) to go to that thread.
Here's the guide (I've black/blurred out some info because I used this tutorial in another website with their server info):
What in the world is Ventrilo?
Ventrilo is a Voice over IP communication system. It's an easy way to get a hold of admins and talk to other community members, and you can even use it without a mic.
After connecting to our server, an Administrator will probably register you in no time. If there's no Administrators online, however, you may have to chill a bit in the main channel.
Ventrilo Tutorial
First, download and install the Ventrilo client by navigating here: http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php
Next, run the program. Now you'll need to create a username by clicking the arrow button next to the "User Name" field.

You should see a "Setup User" window pop up. Click on New.
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/v2.jpg
Another window should appear. Enter your desired username and click OK.

Congrats, you've made your username. Don't worry about any of the other fields; hit OK again.
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/v4.jpg
Now that you have a username, let's get you connected to the rG Ventrilo server. Click on the arrow button next to the "Server" field.
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/v5.jpg
A "Connection Editor" window should pop up. Click on New.
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/v6.jpg
Another window should appear asking what you want to name the server. This can be anything, but we recommend you type "Pocket Legends" or "PL" or something to that effect (without the quotes, of course). Then click the OK button.
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/v7.jpg
Now you'll need to fill in the server information. As shown below (and at the top of this thread), our IP is 72.37.247.172 and the port number is 4095. After entering these numbers, leave everything else the way it is and hit OK.
You're almost done. Now we need to edit the program's settings to fit your personal preferences. Click the Setup button on the right side.
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/v8.jpg
You should be in the Voice tab. Select the Use Push-to-Talk Hotkey option and set your hotkey (for talking) to whatever you want in the box below. Note: Do not bind the hotkey to the same key as your in-game voice chat, because this causes a horrible echo for other players.

You're done! Click OK at the bottom of the menu and then press Connect to join our Vent. Cya there!

Ventrilo Sound Normalization
Vent Normalization makes every bodies voice the exact same volume. In essence, you won't blow your ear's out or have difficulty hearing people.

Here's how:
- Go to Setup
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/Venthomepage.jpg
- Enable Direct Sound
- Select the SFX Button
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/ventsetup.jpg
- Select Compressor and click Add.
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/compressor1.jpg
- Under Compressor Properties use the following settings
- Gain = Adjust for how loud you want people to be. (I use 15)
- Attack = 0.01
- Release = Around 500
- Threshold = Around -30
- Ratio = 100
- Pre delay = 4.0
http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb439/Fiuevy/ventcompressor.jpg
What the settings do:
Gain
How much volume you feed into the compressor. Not really relevant unless everyone is too quiet, then you can turn this up a little; turning it up too much will sound EXTREMELY *%*%ty.
Attack
How fast volume change will happen. example: setting this to 500 means that any-
thing coming in will only be dropped in volume after a half a second. for vent this should
be set as low as possible.
Release
how fast the compressor stops changing things. not really that relevant with vent, setting it around 500 is good for voice material.
Threshold
This sets the point where we actually start changing what�s coming in. Whereas 0 is the absolute loudest you can have for an input, -60 is super quiet. Average users will probably come in somewhere around -25 to -15, with the occaisional few being really quiet, which is why I have this set so low.
Ratio
How much any sound below the set threshold gets compressed and/or modified in the volume department.
If you still want to hear SOME volume variation then set this lower (2-4)... the higher you set it the closer in volume everyone will be.
Pre delay
Mostly just deals with processing; with computer and digital processors they can look ahead a few milliseconds to see what needs to be dropped in volume or changed before it actually comes through the speakers. Highest is ideal.
