a) none of them are used by the people I communicate with b) none of them save me $20 month (on phone calls) Just getting other people to use VoIP at all is still a challenge in my part of the world so anything that slows down adoption is not welcome and as the web site says, "it just works". I've been on a liveCD, apt got skype, made a call and threw away the CD in less time than it takes to figure out how to install most other software. My missing libdbus problem was solved by another sync but I had sync'd a dozen times in the previous week without success.. and sure enough, as soon as I posted, the next sync got me the right dependency. --markc -- [email protected] mailing list
