No, this one is no more active. Microsoft reacted some weeks after my hack. But you can do this: - Extract the skype binary from 4.3 - start it once, then connect to skype, but activate "autmatically connection" (so that you do not unconnect from the server) - now start skype-4.2 and you should be automatically reconnected. Whenever you get disconnected from skype, you can repeat this procdure. Have fun! Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
