Honestly I think calling by IP is much more common than having more than one instance of Ekiga running on the same PC. However with the advent of fast user switching we might expect the last issue to pop up more often. I'm not saying the possibility to dial by IP should be thrown out, I'm using it myself very often. What I'm saying is that it shouldn't be a "tragedy" for Ekiga if the port 5060 is already taken. Ekiga could simply choose a different port and present the user with an informational message that the default port is already in use by a different application. -- Ian _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
