Hi Graham

Sorry I never did get round to reporting back on my experience with
Skype/VoIP as I said I would about 3 months ago in your own very useful
thread, the reason being I just haven't got round to using it!

However I can report that I was successful in setting it up as per your
instructions, it worked fine for a handful of test calls to my landline, but
I live in a part of town where the 3network coverage is a bit hit and miss.

A week or three ago I was trying to login to Skype on the S2 phone and I was
'forced' into accepting a software version upgrade before it would allow me
to do so. I couldn't find any way around it so I did the upgrade, and had a
choice of, I think, 2 later versions. I chose the earlier (lower number) of
the 2 which was 3.80.0.2 as reported by Ian Smith in this thread.

I have just had another mess with it (had to re-enable some pbxes trunks
after an outage a few weeks ago apparently). I added a further Betamax
account which had some free days on it and then made a few test calls to my
landline. I also called another UK number and a Swedish number, but both
people were not available so I couldn't check if there were any quality
issues.

Hopefully at least that answers your question about whether the DTMF tones
are passed with the new Skype version installed. Sorry I can't confirm
whether tones still repeat (the displayed number doesn't repeat), but I
think they probably are because something is happening if the keys are
pressed for too long, i.e. invalid number messages etc. (presumablyfrom
JustVoIP).

If the keys are pressed carefully, successful dialing seems possible most of
the time.

Thanks again for your 'tutorial'.

Rob
