[Herefordshire] Skype - Pc to PC.

[Phil Taylor]

Hi Noel

I work for Skype at the moment :-) :-) 
I just returned from the Tallinn office in Estonia where I have been 
doing the backend programming for the websites skype.com and share.skype.com

I am happy to give everyone on this mailing list a 15 mins SkypeOut 
Credit for free (Thats PC to Phone calling worldwide)

You *can* have a conference with other people on the new Linux version 
just released v1.1.0.13_API, you can initiate it as well from the linux 
client.

The Windows client (internal beta) now has VIDEO as well - So as soon as 
the other party picks up the call the video kicks in and you can both 
see each other - cool feature not yet in the internal betas of the Linux 
client

Let me know if I can help/you have any questions about skype


Phil.
