I'm trying to set up VoIP from UK to Netherlands and Denmark. So far I've managed to get Skype working from SuSE 9.3 (UK) to Novell Linux (NL). May try to connect to Windows XP box once we know everything works.
I'm looking for ideas on what's likely to work well. Any recommendations for servers for SIP/H323/ILS? How/where should I set up an account? What works best: GnomeMeeting/LinPhone/KPhone/Skype?
I've reasonable hardware (Logitech headset and webcam, 2.4GHz P4) but limited bandwidth (512Kbit ADSL is the best we can get just now, probably rising in the next few months).
I've got Skype working on XP, and run regular communications with another fellow who uses a Mac with OS-X. I've got a cable-TV connection to the net, as does he. I have two PC's, and I discovered that my newer one provides much less microphone volume than my older one. The newer one has sound on the MOBO, the older one has a standard sound card. You might need to watch out for this problem. I have just barely enough volume on the new PC. I haven't installed Skype for Linux as yet. I run my sound output thru speakers which are not too close to the mic, and I leave the PC on. When someone calls, I actually hear the "phone" ring thru the speakers! --doug -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
