<font id="EC_role_document" size="2" color="#000000" face="Arial">
<div>After a lifetime of all our company team working with MS Windows/Office
etc, I have put a toe in the Linux ocean and bought a mini laptop running Linux.
As a trial, we're off on a three week business trip to the US armed with nothing
more. So far, I'm thrilled but there is one gap in our capabilities when
travelling without my normal laptop running Windows. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I need voice communication: ideally Skype. Since there doesn't seem to
be Skype for Linux, their site offers a range of third party programmes. I've
downoaded two of these but can't make either work.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If they have to be written off, is there any other programmes that anyone
knows that would enable us to access Skype, or any other Voip, and have
voice/video communication with our colleagues and family while travelling abroad
with a Linux computer.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any help would be VERY much appreciated.</div>
