Hey Tony.
I got this information off the skype website to do with windows 98 however, it
may have been updated since then but not sure. a person must have asked :
Can I use Skype with Windows 98 or Windows ME?
Because it hasn't been fully tested, we have not yet certified Skype for use
with these operating systems. Skype may work with Windows 98 (Win98) or ME
but we cannot yet guarantee compatibility. Some WinME/9x video (and possibly
others) drivers tend to use 100% of processor for their needs for relatively
long periods of time. This can cause the audio quality to degrade
significantly. In addition, WinME/9x does not offer full unicode support, which
means
that some things may not display properly. Skype does not work on WinNT at the
moment. We may support these platforms in the future and will make any future
announcements on our website.
hope this answers your question.

Hi Jackie, & All,
Would any of you know if Skype will work with Windows 98 second edition, and
if so are there particular Jaws scripts that I would need to download for that
operating system?
Thanks.
Tony.

Hey All
here is a little piece on Skype for those who perhaps are toying with the
idea to download it.
Skype aims to delight you by offering free global telephony, to make
unlimited, superior quality voice calls via its next-generation peer-to-peer
software. Skype's mission is providing a simple, reliable and friendly
communications tool that just works. We aim for people to communicate with
friends, families, and colleagues more flexibly, more cost effectively, and
with better sound quality than ever previously imagined. The rapid
proliferation of broadband, plus Skype, gives anyone around the world real
choice in communications. No longer beholden to one company, choice allows
pioneers the option to make free, unlimited calls using an Internet connection.
The power of the Skype network increases with the numbers of Skype users
making free calls over the Internet. Once you download our free software,
tell your friends. Skype is promoting further adoption of high-quality
connectivity, and works with world class telecommunications companies that
share the vision to provide better ways for people to communicate. Skype is
working hard and expanding to new platforms, including mobile devices and
handsets. Soon you'll be Skyping
> at home, in the office and on the road. Skype calls require a PC
microphone and speakers, or an affordable PC headset available at electronics
retailers worldwide. Skype is simple to install regardless of your PC
environment and will set up with no server or workstation configuration.
Skype works behind most firewalls and gateways without providing new security
risks. Skype calls are encrypted for your security, and we maintain a strict
privacy policy. Internet telephony is in its infancy and Skype will lead the
innovations forward - beyond what we can imagine today. as you can tell i
didn't write this, but hope this answers any questions
> about skype and makes the decision to download it.
> you can get further information on
www.skype.com

this is where i got the info.
also JAWS users would need to download scrips so they can fully access
Skype, these scrips are also easy to download.
Happy Skyping
Jackie
