[Ekiga-list] Dial-Up
I was wondering if Ekiga can work like Netwaiting for WIndows? Whether or not it can take incoming calls from someone calling on a regular phone? Or at least notify me that someone is calling, so that I can disconnect from the internet and take the call (since I'm on Dial-Up)?

Re: [Ekiga-list] Dial-Up
Hi Sven! It's possible to hook up a PSTN phone number with a VoIP account, then connect to that VoIP account using Ekiga. When it comes to details: 1. I think this might be OT for this list; I can recommend a general VoIP forum 2. For some hints, it would be helpful to know in which country that PSTN phone number would be. Netwaiting for WIndows? What's that? Just wondering? In what part of the world would anyone use analogue dial-up to connect to the Internet?

Re: [Ekiga-list] Dial-Up
Your in for a big surprise! /: P One place where analogue dial-up is used is in the United States of America! At least in those out of the places where the telephone company is waaay too bloody lazy to put down (at the least) DSL cable. I live in Hawai'i, in an out of the way place, with only Dial-Up for internet. Wireless would be an option, if wasn't so expensive to set up. Netwaiting is a windows program for Dial-Up that notifies me about incoming calls and allows me to take the call. Btw, what does PSTN stand for? And what exactly is VoIP? Sorry, I'm fairly new to all this. Sven On Sun, Mar 16, 2008 at 10:32 AM, Torsten Schlabach [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Sven!

Re: [Ekiga-list] Dial-Up
Thanks Maybe what I should be asking is whether or not it's possible for others to call me via landline while I'm on the internet?

Re: [Ekiga-list] Dial-Up
Yes, it is possible. Many providers offer real phone numbers (including the one suggested by Ekiga).
