ICQ Phone..Anybody else using it?

[Hydey]

Finbar has a mac and said he doesn't have ICQ phone available.
Perhaps he was just lying to me

I'm not talking to Hydey on the telephone, just forget it

Ya, the Mac version of ICQ doesn't have the phone option. Mac ICQ is actually a couple of old jam tins and a piece of string. I've got the microphone and speakers, just not the essential bit.

Sorry about last night... I was on early, but then had stuff to do around the house. When I checked later, I saw you had tried to contact me...

Maybe you and Rah can figure it out tonight when you get home.

Maybe some industrious soul could post a simple step by step process for doing this, i.e.:

goto ICQ services
select "phone"
blah
blah
blah...


I would like to try this out and have a port mic/headset as well as UBB or whatever its called ports...

I may be playing the Aussies...I can't wait to hear Fin's Frasieresque nasal twang...oh, he doesnt' use a PC...never mind.
How about Hydey's southern drawl?

I think you will all be quite impressed with my rich baritone.
We Pacific Northwesterners are reknowned for out lack of accent and perfect diction. We sound like newscasters.
Just you wait...I might even sing you a ballad.

last time i tried the damn thing it had bad delays

[Baron O]

raspuin & supersneak

it sometimes has delays because it is bandwidth sensitive i have been told. dailup ip's in US are restricted up to 53k. no more. that may explain any lag. the wider the bandwidth the better.
thou dailup connections do work they are not stable. supersneak as to instuctions on how to set it up. hydey can walk u through it. or send me a message about what time you are available. remember where i am at i am 16 hrs behind melbourne. i.e. at noon saturday in melboure it is friday night at 8 in california where i am at.

oh finbar most mac users i know are junking those things because software is expensive and not very pleniful. even thou there proccessors are extremely fast, unless you are doing graphics they make better paperweights than personal computers and steve jobs makes a better snake oil salesman than bill gates though that is not saying much for either one of them

uh are you sure you dont have me confused with another vancouverite.... say MARKUSF or perhaps another North American in ...EYES OF NIGHT

ok, I'll give it a try.

open icq,

select any user and left click

select icqphone option

select launch icqphone client

The mock phone will come up.

select menu

select setup wizard

follow all test instruction.

If you can hear the test, and hear back on the mic test, it should work.

The most important thing is to make sure your mic is plugged in to the right place and your volume settings are high enough.

Once this works, just point at a user that has the headset icon next to their name (left click) and initiate a pc to pc call.

Have fun.

And if you still have problems, chat with Barono or myself and we will try to help you out.
