Skype P2P VoIP
I’m testing Skype, a P2P voice telephony app. Could one of you Windows users give me a call please? Send me an IM reminder first: I don’t keep Virtual PC running all the time because it is a resource hog.

Nice, but I'm particularly interested in Skype since it is a P2P app. Wonder how long it will be before the protocol is reverse engineered and an open source implementation created.

Have been on fwd for a while now. AFAIK, thats blocked for access from India. Atleast VSNL blocks it.

Could be. My broadband provider -- Iqara, doesn't block it. Quite lovely, especially with those free, landline numbers in USA and UK.

I can access it using Reliance, but the sound quality is really bad. Maybe I need a thicker pipe.

yeah, maybe. I have used it for hours at length to talk to my friends in canada. I have an outgoing cap of 12k/sec. Might be possible that you've got packet loss / timeouts because you were on reliance.

via an instant messenger unless we have communicated before. Drop a
comment in the journal or send me e-mail and give me time to get
familiar with you."
This from your bio page...
Get a life dude...wouldn't wanna add someone this curmudgeony to my IM
list in any case...Not cool at all...
But what the heck ... to each his own...

Sorry dude, policy stays.
How would you like someone interrupting you in the middle of a working day and talking like they have always known you, when you have no clue who the person is? I've had one too many people bug me like that.
Email at least gives you the option to ignore the communication until free of greater priorities.

And then again, I'll agree the wording doesn't convey the intent, so I'll change it.

apologies and an offer of friendship...(adding you as my buddy)
