Hello everyone: Has anyone heard or used a new software package called:
skype
Details and download information (including a Linux flavor) can be found at:
www.skype.com/download.html
Someone suggested that Skype is better than MSN (not a big leap needed there ;-) and Kopete. I haven't tried it so I can't comment. just wondering if anyone has made the plunge. Cheers, Mike
Skype works perfectly on several of my Linux boxes and also on a couple windows boxes. SuSE 8.2 and 9.1. Windows 98 and XP. (Shucks, it even works in a Windows VMware virtual machine running on a linux Host!) It uses the firewall piercing scheme so that you never have to mess with your firewall to get it to work. (Well almost never). Crystal clear voice coms, good IM client, and File transfer. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
