There have been a lot of emails about Skype recently. I have relations in Australia and California who use some system whereby they can talk to family over here and also see each other on the screen. As you can tell I do not know much about it.the skype linux app is free and easy to use (calls are free if made PC to PC). There is also a similar yahoo app which also has a linux version. If you are usining kde then you can use kopete which has protocols for skype, yahoo and others. I think pidgin will do the same if you're a gnome.I have heard of Skype and Ekiga. I also heard on the news last night that MS has just bought Skype. That has put me right off Skype.Anyway, is it all a lot of work/expense and is it worth the bother at the end please?Does anyone have any suggestions etc.? Neil
