You are dead right! When I wrote my message, I had only tested the patched version of 3.2.6 with the Echo test: [email protected] and everything functioned correctly. But now I have made a couple of calls to my contacts. In both cases, on disconnection, Ekiga did not close correctly and froze. Also, in the second call, Ekiga was cut off after about two minutes of conversation. When I tried to re-connect there was no ringing tone, but the screen message said that i was connected. But my contact did not respond and I was unable to renew the conversation, even after repeated attempts. So, 3.2.6 still has problems. I hope my comments are helpful. I am willing to help in any way that I can to solve these problems. But I am not a computer techie, so do not expect too much of me! The little I know about computer entrails has been learned from about three years of fighting with configuration and other difficulties in Ubuntu Linux. Thank you for your help. Best regards to you and Yannick, Ian Murdoch.
