VoiP on a Win 98 PC ?

SJphone

I haven't tried it. But Yahoo is offering something that does PC to PC calls:

SJlabes says: Attention! Having SJphone installed is not enough to talk. You have to purchase an account with any ITSP like Vonage or start your own service. The direct host2host calls work, but you need to know your party's IP-address.

So, I guess this is somewhat tricky. thanks for the hint, never of heard before Frank

Its simple, no need to worry. You could use it with voipuser,

Thanks for this precision Frank

Pity the site isn't a bit more helpful. What's it for ? To give people in the UK another phone number ?

Regards, John.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but "PicoPhone allows multiple concurrent calls..."

From the SJphone help: If you want to talk to several respondents simultaneously, you need to start a conference. That can be done by clicking the Conference button on the SJphone Main panel. Now you may talk to several respondents simultaneously. They also will hear you and each other.

Thanks, a new one for me. :-)

Thanks, didn't see that.

John, it is a free voip server,

What's wrong with Skype? It does work with win98 -- if you get the correct version.

See:

And the different versions collaborate well? We intend to have conference calls between PCs with XP, a PC with Win98 and a Mac. Any idea ?

Frank

with these operating systems. Skype may work with Windows 98 (Win98)or ME but we cannot yet guarantee compatibility. Some WinME/9x video (and possibly others) drivers tend to use 100% of processor for their needs for relatively long periods of time. This can cause the audio quality to degrade significantly. In addition, WinME/9x does not offer full unicode support, which means that some things may not display properly.

Did you have any of the difficulties mentioned?

Frank

Can't see why not. Conferencing is a function of the network service. (The PC is just the client software.)

It's free to download and install. Why not try it out? Install one to win98, another to an XP machine, another to a MAC (humm, des it work on MAC?) Then try it out. Post back here if you do.

I have to convince my colleagues in 3 different countries. This will take a little time. We'll see.

With voipuser.org i can phone for free to normal landlines, sky is not free, you have buy credits.....
