'I may be gone for some time'

grrrr, sorry folks, momentary power dip and I'm - wheee! - back down the big snake to square one ...... that's the Great Drawback of Multisession.

Hey, I do like Lobster's blinding glimpse of the obvious - albeit in a somewhat different context - with 'Puppy Phone'. Seems to me that would be far more meaningful to the newcomer looking down the menu than 'Psip VOIP + IM client'.

(Hmm, ® problem? ... doubt it, because there seem to be several different novelty handsets out there under the same general description).

Dogle is right - I was doing a general simplicity drive at conference call
Shall we change name to 'Puppy Phone' = Dogles idea, not mine?

Personally I think we should stay with Psip but maybe display it like:

Psip - Puppy Phone

Retaining Psip makes sense. ( I had a horrible afterthought, endless confusion over version numbering henceforward if t'were otherwise).

No, it works with DHCP address allocation, surprisingly enough. I surmise that the SIP server (IPTel) handles this; direct box-to-box might indeed need static addresses.

(I've just reconnected with a new DHCP address to make certain!).

Look forward to speaking to you, Don.

Even more surprising (to me), it is not essential for port 5060 to be open - ShieldsUp is telling me all my ports are invisible.

I'm trying Fatdog520 final.

I see that the buddy-list is not created in /tmp/psip/ thus psip stops.(found this on cli psip)
When I create a /tmp/psip/buddy-list with a list of "buddies" inside the file, psip works albeit without showing who's online including myself.

Grrrr

apropos earlier comments on sound problems -'motorboating'- after a bit more fiddling, I should clarify:
Smokey's additional line

Code: Select all

--snd-auto-close=0
does not prevent this being triggered by an invalid call attempt, but it does enable it to be cleared by making a valid call.

I have tried commenting out the line

Code: Select all

--local-port 5060
(being a curious creature) to see what happened - nothing did ! I'd be very interested to know if others notice any effect - particularly on incoming sound quality - on trying this (or closing/hiding port 5060).

I was minded to send IPTel a billy about that false statement on their /service page saying that Voice2email was enabled by default (which had scared me off at the start) but - oops! - looks like a waste of time because it seems that nobody has been updating the site for about four years.
Whilst that may not in itself be any great cause for alarm, it might do no harm (bearing in mind the earlier history of PSip) to make sure that the alternative of ekiga, or others, is maintained ...... just in case.

Microphone in PUPs - SLACKO

Great news for all of us.

@Lboster, do you think that you could make a small script that would be called "Mic Test" that might be useful for both PSIPPY and PUPs everywhere? If I had the skills to create a General Purpose dialoog, I woulld help. But, I'm willing to test one, though.

Hope this helps

I had a rethink of the little voice recorder I made. Although it's quite simple and works well, .wav files are quite large. Because of this I changed it to create both a wav file and an mp3 file. The mp3 file is about 17% of the size of the wav file. In other words a 1M wav file is less than 200k, not bad.

I have also made it easy to find the recorded file. Once the file has been created, rox will show you where it is.

It has three dependencies, arecord, aplay and lame. All three are normally bundled with puppy.

Grant,

I really like the svr pet you made.
It works great for sending email with an attached voice message.
The mp3 format is playable inside my email client....hooray!!

Great! You may want to package this with PSIP. Further, you may also want to add a button/feature/menu on PSIP for running this clever utility.

I realize that this should be posted on the PSIP site instead of here. So, one may want to move this post there.

Thanks @Smokey01...Thanks.
