I want to use Skype. Owing to the age of the system, I'm limited to earlier versions of Skype (library compatibility), and these use OSS sound rather than ALSA.
Are you sure the Skype network is up and running again? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/08/17/skype_up_a_bit/
Good luck! Tim.
I think that's stale news now, Tim. True, on Thursday 16th and Friday 17th (date of the above) it was impossible to establish a login connection to Skype. Then on Saturday 18th logins resumed. On Saturday evening I was able to "ring" someone else (i.e. they got the "ringing" sound from their computer) and they could "ring" me. Either way, though, all that came through sound-wise was that clicking.
Thanks, Ted.
