Where do you get a gizmo account to use for this? Or other SIP account?

Scratch that.

I went to sipphone.com and got it set up. Very Happy

One way is to register a phone - see first post in this thread
another is to install gizmo - this is the smallest
William Mcewan Gizmo Mini
then you will be provided with the details when you register
(they are in one of the menus)

Will Davies (HairyWill) has also compiled pjsip (our open source PSIP base code) for windows
Maybe there is a ready made windows program we can phone across to?

Or do like I did.

Just register with them there. You don't have to install anything but the PSIP program. It registers you as if you've already got your SIP hardware or Softphone, which is exactly what PSIP is! This prevents the need for Gizmo installations.

excellent, that needs to go into the help.
Sip phone for puppy in under 600K.
Can anyone see what the performance is like on dial up.
How low can we go for cpu use I get up 20% on my 1200MHz with the default quality setting of 6.

Cool, I'm glad I could contribute. If I find anything else, I'll let you know. Could you link me to the SIP listings page? I forgot where it was.

here are some comments from smokey01 and my replies in case anyone else has an opinion

yes it does look wonky at the moment also the icons are not self explanatory
alternatively, the numbers need resizing Wink

they seem to take up a lot
of space for something that is not used that often

not sure why this is, I've installed the pet several times without a problem
I created the pet in the same way that I usually do

this seems like an old problem, what do you get for
find . -name "pjsua-i686*" -exec md5sum {} \;

what if you are doing chat with more than one person and just want to close one

limitations of gtkdialog, I find TAB, ENTER, SHIFT-TAB fairly quick

Hi,

please have a look at PSip after change of icon size to 80x80.

Lobster · Posted: Mon 07 Jul 2008, 02:57 Post subject:

Dialpad icons removed Smile

a further set of main icons is being designed by rastapix - we may use both
or just one set - will have to see what he comes up with . . .

so alignment (Will may add text at the base) for the next release
is not an issue as yet

Lobster has been having problems with recent versions of psip dropping his calls after a few minutes, here are some comments I emailed to him.

Hi All,

I wonder if the various screens can be arranged to open in a more logical arrangement?

Also a ringer sound would be great for incoming calls...alas I'm not a coder.

So far the 0.9.8 version is working quite well...thanks for all the work...loving this.

Best,
Eric

Hi Will,

I'm using xorg with dingo beta1. (I'll try other puplets soon) but I always use xorg.

I think the voice call with puppyluvr was more than 10 minutes...but maybe he can confirm the time...we didn't get cut off until we tried to go into conference calling....but it seems the limitation on time didn't affect us in the N American area but again maybe puppyluvr can confirm this.

I've tested most of the options and they seem to work as they should with 0.9.8 July 6 2008 version.

Best,
Eric
