[Herefordshire] Skype - Pc to PC.

[Dunstan Lawrence]

hi Phil,

i would love those free minutes if that's ok with you.

i have tried this before but not for a good while.

was not much fun though, as i had no-one to call and no credit for the
landline calls.

the screen shots look good.

regards,

BoX

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.
