Yes I could hear you and Stripe got active too for a while.
But the Cellphone regulated your sound so the background noise
was rather disturbing to listen to. Sorry about that.

Surprised that none of the Australian was active? Next Sunday
I will be traveling during that time the Conference start.

Sorry guys I missed the conference. I was so tired last night I couldn't keep my eyes open.

I guess sleep is not overrated after all.

Nothing to do with Smokey01, but i had a busy weekend and thought i'd lie down for an hour or so before the conference but i slept on for hours...

Sorry to have missed a chat with you all.

[nooby]

oops it is already Saturday here and that is close to Sunday I guess.

So anybody joining tomorrow?

[russoodle]

Hi nooby, if i'm stll awake, i should be there this time

[DPUP5520]

Same here

[nooby]

My local time is now 9.43 something in the morning and
I am still in my dreams but them slowly fade away. 3 hours to go

[Sylvander]

1. Working in...
Dpup-squeeze-5.X.9-SCSI
And...
PSIP 1.2-pre ef5ea635e4

2. When I try to set "Preferences" on my 2003 hardware...
The window freezes Psip.

3. Cannot see any way to reduce the sampling rate.
There's no setting opportunity available in...
Setup->Miscellaneous".
Or anywhere else that I can see.

Sylvander, I have time to talk but I fail to make use of the
new 1.2 I can only use the very old one from 2008
so if you need to compare what to write in the config
then I can not help but I can help with how it sounds
but so can Dpup and he most likely is online.

Have to agree with Dogle regarding the freeze issue not necessarily being caused by hardware not being powerful enough, because i experienced the very same frustrating issue a couple of weeks back on the same hardware i'm using now, ie. one Puppy or another running on an Intel Mac C2D 2.4GHz machine, 3GB RAM and HDA Intel audio adapter. While it's not exactly a you-beaut top-of-the-line system, it's not a slug, either.

Last few days i've been using the integrated Psip 1.2-RC2 64bit on Lighthouse Pup 64, prior to that was Fatdog 521 64 with Psip 1.2 and i haven't had the freeze issue for some time now.

I'm not really fussed on the Alsa Mixer though, so i use Retrovol..

It can be quite confusing, trying to sort out these issues, as there've been so many iterations of Psip over the past couple of months, + 32bit and 64bit versions + individuals' different Puppys and wide-ranging hardware specs as well...

If anyone here can make head or tail of it all, you're definitely a better man than i!

I gave the modern 32 a try which is psip 1.2 as I get it.

I either have done something very wrong or it is same issue that
dpup5520 had with the router.

The very old psip 0.12 just works every time and I spent an hour
on the new one three times so I give up on it now.
I will continue using the oldest because it just works.

[nooby]

I have the old Psip running and it works rather well.
I have spent hour on two or three day and totally
fail to get teh modern Puppy phone going.

Now a neighbor asked me if I had Skype.

No but I have Puppy Phone I told her.

Can I call her too over the puppy phone? Would that work?

sure she has to tell me her sip number. Does skype have a
general sip or do them only talk to each other and landlines?

[DPUP5520]

They use two different protocols so no you can't call skype from Psip

Edit: I may have been wrong check these out
