Oh right, Skype claim that GPRS isn't supported for voice calls. I therefore
think we should tell them that it does.

Hello Chris and List,
It is not correct that a broadband connection is needed to use skype.
I've only last week used skype versions 3.8 and 4 via a gprs connection
with speed 460.8 kbps and was told that the voice output doesn't drag.
I was obliged to use my cel phone via gprs as a modem and was able to
establish a gprs connection via both my pc with skype 4 and a notebook
with version 3.8. The notebook's internal microphone doesn't work well
though, but there seems to be no loss in voice quality using a logitec
USB headset.
However, calls were dropped from time to time in lengthy skype cessions,
although it happened less if the call was initiated from the side that
was using a broadband connection.
Years ago I've even used it on a dialup connection with spead 42.6 kbps,
but then the voices drag much, making it sound like a flat battery used
with a voice tape recording.
Regards
Riana

For Skype you need a broadband or better internet connection, a
microphone
and a good PC. Windows XP works with Skype and so does JAWS 9, but you
should get the free scripts from www.dlee.org/skype. Why not join the
Skype
English mailing list. I think the sub info is
[email protected]. That way you've got a forum to ask
Skype-related queries. Hope this helps.

Hi Folks,
I have been considering setting up a skype account however I
have no idea where to begin.
I guess the short version is how does it work? and what do I
need?
I am currently using windows XP-Pro and Jaws 9.current.
