Would someone prepare a systematic, step by step explanation of how to use Horacio's platform, suitable for nontechies coming from a variety of platforms? This should, obviously, be prepared by someone who refuses to use Skype on ideological grounds. ;-) i.e., if your argument against proprietary tools is not to be de facto exclusionary you must take the responsibility to make the alternatives known and accessible to others. >>> "Horacio T.

It's the American Female voice I downloaded from the Net. It does speak a little fast. I could download the British Mail voice but it doesn't contain all the messages I wanted. Too bad, by the time I joined the conference, you had already disconnected. When you call, asterisk answers >Please enter a conference number for the conference you wish to join 1234# >Please enter the conference number PIN number 5678# >After the tone, say your name and then press the pound key Say your name # >Thank you.

I guess fring disables the keypad when the call is made. I have a SE P990i and have been waiting for ages for fring to release a version for it. No luck.
