[X4U] Re: Skype

[John Richardson]

Hello,

This raises the issue of how does Skype discover another Skype user.
According to the latest issue of Macworld, user xyz registers themselves
using one or more schemes (phone,address,...). So, to get Skype to Skype
(domestic and international) I assume that you have your friends download
Skype, install and register. Of course, ringing beeps only work when both
computers are turned on and attended.

So, the scheme leaves the legwork up to you. You talk your relatives into
downloading Skype and then figure out a "time to call schedule".

My experiences with Skype have been hit or miss.  I use it on my G3
iBook 600 Mhz with 640MB. And I get better results when other apps are
not running.  One of these days I will try it on my G4 DP.
