As I am a Skype neophyte, how does one access a conference call through Skype? -----Original Message----- From: Non-Commercial User Constituency [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Robin Gross Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 3:34 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: let's try for a Sunday call? Agreed. We'll have to use skype until there is a foss option that can do the job. Skype's unlimited world-wide free voice conference calls are hard to resist. I don't think it will be long before there will be a foss competitor.
