I'm asking for ideas as to how to make Ekiga-WM communication work, and possible reasons it works only intermittently for me. This list is, I think, a fine place to make such a request, because... 1) As far as I can tell, the problem may be related to an ISP's setup; if that is the case, then isn't it possible that a similar problem would occure if Ekiga were being used with that ISP instead of WM? If that is the case, then the issue is of interest to the Ekiga community. 2) While it's true that the problem may only be with WM or some other propietary technology, free software has to interact with and take into account buggy, incomplete propietary software all the time. Free software web applications bend over backwards to deal with Internet Explorer, as does OpenOffice.org to read and write files in closed MS formats. Even programs that use simple, open protocols such as FTP take special measures to interoperate with buggy MS products. If Ekiga and the ekiga.net service aim to allow users to call propietary SIP phones, then it makes sense that the project at least be aware of typical problems in interactions with the most common propietary applications. If this is a WM or a Windows issue, then Ekiga might consider suggesting solutions, creating a workaround, mentioning the problem in the documentation, or, at the very least, analysing the situation with a view to understanding what goes wrong. > Try to use the win32 port of ekiga, see if you can make it work. OK, where can I get it? __________________________________________________ Correo Yahoo! Espacio para todos tus mensajes, antivirus y antispam ¡gratis!
