Smokey we are talking at cross purposes . . . Confused

If you configure from the menu and have registered
with iptel you need to know that
registrar URL: sip.iptel.org
- so that is general info for others
that I was unaware of when I came to fill the info Smile

I Have not altered the config file which you sent - that is something different and requires the settings you mention Cool

Hey..just had a lovely live voice chat with Smokey on psip...hooray

Good news Eric

I have received voicemail (via email) which I will listen to soon Smile

- thanks guys appreciate efforts
- once we get a few more people phoning we might be able to stage a conference call?

Theoretically the process of VOIP in Puppy should be:

1. Ensure working sound and Mic
2. Register Sip address
3. Configure PSIP with registered details
4. Use PSIP as soft phone

I am somewhere around 3 and 4 - Update - Was able to receive call from Eric - we have contact
We are getting there Cool

- smokeys modified links (updated PSIP file is already an improvement)

Once we know the procedure works we can maybe set up a help wizard/tutorial/video to help the procedure . . .
Update I will be working on this next

there are programs for direct (non server communication) but
using PSIP would be the ideal

Hi Ed,

I confirm Fatdog does not work with psip.
The program (psip) will run with 32bit libs but there are no pop-up alerts to a phone call and calls (with the "m" command) produce a HUGE 50% cpu load....sadly so far nadda with FDog.

BUT....my old 409 install and Smokey's newer install co-operate and the call was crystal clear.

Very nice to speak with the pups again in live voice..Eric

I know this is a bit adventurous of me but I'm going to try and figure out how to compile the source.

What I would really like is a GUI built into the source so there is only one file plus the config file of course.

I think this may be beyond my capabilities but it's nice to dream.

Maybe someone with the skills will offer to assist.

I wonder if BaCon would be useful to achieve this. Maybe vovchik is our man? http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4077

Just listened to Eric and Grants messages. Eric yours are clear - Grant yours are speaking too close to the mic - but message was fine Smile

Thanks guys

OK some more info:

In Slacko I can not input the password, when doing the configuration
I thought this was a security feature - not so, as I tried in Lucid.
Lucid was equally frustrating for me but the password could be added.

Grant has a new mic much clearer (still only able to receive voice messages)

Been doing USB camera experiments. On a reasonably modern system a program that runs the video cam could be installed or suggested and run as a multitask option? Could not remember which is the best program for Puppy webcam support (I got the video working in the Skype from http://portablelinuxapps.org/Puppylinux - but not the sound)?

Also been looking at SIP on Android. Any recommendations if you use this over wifi?

I think (fingers and claws crossed) I was able to send a voice mail to Smokey Very Happy

- tried Eric several times but only iptel has voice messages . . .

So I think PSIP is working (yep) but needs some type of wizard
. . . rather complex to get working . . .

Once you have a SIP number
and configured your setup
you click on start pjsua
then refresh buddies
then click on a buddy and call

Grant
if you do a further update . . .
with regards the file /usr/local/psip/psip-gui

if you change line 89

OK have chatted to Eric and Grant now Laughing

- managed a conference call with Grant Cool

- that is something new and to use that you will need his
updated PSIP
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=555750#555750

OK have created a quickstart section and will add more to
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Psippy
'Use PSIP as soft phone' section soon . . .

I just had a nice, clear long chat with lobster on Psip.

In the revised GUI I have included a conference channel, no 528.

We both hung up and entered the conference channel and it worked brilliantly. It would be interesting to see how well this works with a number of callers.

On this weekend coming I might announce a time where we can have a conference so we can test.

Known issues at the moment are:
1. Can not hear the calling sound from the call initiator. The person receiving the call can hear the beep beeps ok though.

2. Has problem sharing the sound card. You might find that you don't get sound after using Psip. It doesn't seem to release control of the driver. Once you close Psip you get use the of your card sound back.

I will make the change from nicoedit to defaulteditor that lobster has suggested above.

I will create a pet package for both a GUI upgrade and the complete package, probably on the weekend.

A word of warning about a pjsua gotcha which has bitten me a couple of times.

A short time ago, in preparation for getting going with Psip, I put a music CD on pCD in order to check my audio setup (which I don't use regularly). I was alarmed to find that sound was being chopped at ~~10Hz, but fortunately memory was on my side for once.

The cause is pjsua trying to do something in the background - normal service was resumed as soon as pjsua was closed via the Psip GUI or killed from the CLI.

No big deal, perhaps, but it is a newbie-trap. When I was trying to use old-Psip many moons ago it had me looking for a replacement sound card before going any further (the effect is so like 'motorboating', as in, decoupling cap failure, I was quite convinced that I had a dud on my hands). :-))
