I'd experimenting with icq phone. I need a guinea pig to see if it will work on my comp.

Volunteers?

Makeo · October 22, 2002, 23:05

Makeo · October 22, 2002, 23:11

War4ever · October 22, 2002, 23:24

srholmes · October 23, 2002, 01:58

I have used ICQ phone before, its cool.

Use the setup Wizard to test it first. It will make things easier.

use yahoo, the icq one is total crap and doesn't work with half the people.. Not to mention you can't set up 5 way conferences etc.

Captain Deiticus! Phone home!

finbar · October 23, 2002, 19:59

The ICQ one isn't available for Mac!

Alexander's Horse · October 23, 2002, 20:11

Bloody Macs

Missing out on hearing the - I'm sure - silky, dulcet tones of my confrères is, I suspect, a small price to pay.

Oh, and while I'm here - roll on tonight, I say.

Captan Dieticus fled civ with scandalous haste

Just getting back to the ICQ phone thing - it's an interesting exercise to match names to voices. Of course, some voices are already known to us:

* Hydey - speaks as sweetly as newly-mown grass even if his edges could do with a trim;

* Deity - speaks v e r r r y s l o o o o w l y;

and

* Horse - speaks, um, hoarsely.

But what does Makeo sound like? Is there a touch of the alpine Austrian/Swiss that he bungs on to hit on girls after hours in the après ski bars?

i got it to work with msn messenger

Nah - I've got him down for a squeaky high pitched voices - one of the reasons he doesn't want to meet us

if you got it to work on msm you shouldn't have many problems with icq.

offically what you need to make it work is a sound card, mic, and speakers, if you got it to work with a headset so much better.

you should also check setup wizard to make sure there are no problems on icq's part.

i helped hydey set his up and it worked fine. it will not work with a mac. if you need any help feel free to icq me and i will walk you through the process.
