Trident:

Since Skype just went to free calls With no time limit, anywhere in the US or Canada, I've been using the call any Landline or cell phone feature, works great, just type in +1 and complete phone number and getting nice clear connections.........pose

Just read your post again, sorry I got it wrong "its early"

The skype system is susposed to work on about 36bpm dial up, but I found it breaks up and dosn't give a clear voice contact. However part of my problem was running it with a sound system attached to the computer. You can download and try it for free, maybe it will work for you on your dial up connection? worth a try. I switched to dsl and very glad I did, has lots of advantages over dial up, but costs a extra 20 bucks in my area......pose

Posse It works like a charm Im very impressed with SKYPE & its great features its very kool but I would think having a high speed Modem Cable or DSL is a must for it to work proficiently .....BTW I got to see Scot Yees African Grey Parrot on our video call too

Hey I saw the parrot also, I think Scottie is training him to sing like and sound like Don M "for a possible duet"...

Let me introduce that parrot to my Louisiana Gator.
DonM

hey Don, my african grey's met one, and now dons alligator shoes, so better 'watch out'!

Scott

Since GSM protocol is at ~6 Kbp/s if I remember well, and it has a good enough voice quality, I can only imagine what Skype can do with 36 Kbp/s.

DSL 384 costs about 25-40 EUROS/month here.

Scott didn't show me his parrot..does it have a Roland ankle band?

Anyone else have a SKYPE name to share......its great to talk to so many players & make new friends.....?
