People really should do some research before they post rubbish. My message first, the other guy's message afterwards. Enjoy.

In the main | tree-view there is a slider or two, and one of them is the overall volume | slider for inbound traffic. | I personally run and own, as specified by the developer of teamtalk, the | largest server in the world to date and have done for more than a year. | Far from skype being better, it's infinitely worce. | Not only would the person hosting the skype conference have to have a great | deal of bandwidth, tipically 3-6 k per person, the more people you have the | more processor it uses. | Teamtalk's highest quality sound setting is 32 khz, and skype's is a meer | 16. Rather sad when voip soundes so much better, and skype really do need | to get their backsides in gear if they actually intend to realistically keep | up with the market today. | Lets assume you want a 5 person conference but want to play audio-quake at | the same time and lets assume you need 4 kb per user. | I'm not as yet even sure how much data quake sends both ways but it's more | than dialup, especially on TBRN where the server is heavily modded, but for | the sake of it, lets say 5 kbps. | for now we'll also say that like one friend of mine, you have a poxy 128 k | upstream, and you're the only one able to host a skype conference with the 4 | other people. | Quake takes up 5 kb, skype will take up 16 kb, and this does not include | overheads. Oops? We've successfully gone overquota. What to do now? | Well ladies, gentlemen and others, move to a better product. Teamtalk. | You can: | Make a room on the server and have as many people there as you wish at | whatever bitrate you wish, from a meer 600 bites per second, to 32 kilobits | per second. Since the teamtalk server will be taking care of your traffic, | you need not worry that you have too little bandwidth to host your skype | conference. It is unnecessary. | Use either PTT (push-to-talk) or voice activation. | Have true full-duplex where skype lyes. Actually, the person with the | loudest or most obnoxious microphone will physically vox out anyone else | trying to speak. skype is marketed as full-duplex but in actuality is not. | Test this for yourself if you do not believe me, I urge each and every skype | advicate to do so. | Control the volumes of each person in the conference for the reasons | specified above. With teamtalk, each user has a mute and a volume which you | can set at your pleasure. | | I could go on and on but I will not. | If anyone has any questions, do not hesitate to skype me, (unfortunately I | do still use the product,) and I will get you set up with Teamtalk if that | is what you all require. | My skype name is: | Andre_Louis | | I have a tutorial about Teamtalk and links to connect to my server on my | website. | You will find the tutorial at the following url: | http://andrelouis.com/tt_instalation.txt | I await your calls. | | | | Andre P.
