Hi Jonathan, you are right! why use a proprietary protocol when there's an open one? In fact, I am an ekiga registered used... The people I have to talk with have windows and use skype for connecting with their own tree of personal contacts, who use skype too... so I am almost sure they will continue to use skype. Th solution is to ask them to install an open source program only to talk with me... which is hard to do too regards Marcelo -- Marcelo Chiapparini DFT-IF/UERJ [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
