You can use the Olympus DS range as small Skype handsets
also.

No problems, Jackie. Re Skype phones, they're simply a
microphone and speaker in the shape of a handset! Well, they
can get a little more complicated than that as some come
with a keypad to dial Skype phone numbers directly from the
handset, or even as sophisticated as they can be linked to
the internet directly to use Skype without the need of a
computer. I'd say try Skype with a microphone and a usual
headset for now, and if you like Skype so much that you
become a real Skyper then look into Skype phones!
BTW, Skype works very well with Jaws 7 and later versions
even without the scripts.
Cheers,
Amro

Thanks Amro.
Could I ask another really stupid question please?
What is the difference between using a microphone for Skype,
and a Skype phone? Is it just so people can say they are
talking on a phone, or is there something else more
pertinent to having one?
Many thanks indeed.
Jackie

Hi Jackie,
Ok. launch Skype. When it's up, it will ask
you to sign in using your Skype name. If you don't have one,
you can create a user name and choose a password from that
same dialog box. Now if all goes well and you're signed in,
you need to add or search for Skype users using their Skype
names or email addresses. Both the search and the add users
options can be found on the tools menu. Once you've found
the users you're looking for and added them to your contacts
list, just highlight a contact, right click and choose to
start a call, send a message etc.
And ah! Don't forget to hook up your
microphone first before you start ringing people! *Smile*
This is only a quick run of the prog, go for
it and if you're stuck, please write back...
HTH,
Amro

Subject: [access-uk] Using Skype
Hi All
I wonder if some of you more
knowledgeable on this subject than I could please tell me
how to start using Skype. I have two nieces who would like
to communicate with me using this method, but I have never
used it before. My Vista laptop appears to have a Skype
icon on the Desktop, but I haven't even launched it before.
Apologies if this subject has been
covered in depth previously. But it is impossible to
remember everything when it isn't applicable to you at the
time.
Many thanks for any suggestions. If
you would rather Email me off list then that's fine.
Jackie
