Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00283)

P.s., if you join the meeting using Skype, you can call your friends
phones from your Skype messenger and then merge that call with the
lodge meeting, which is free for certain regions such as the United
States, and could save them them money if they planned on calling in.
 Please read the Skype documentation at their web site for how to do
that http://skype.com

posting this in the confidence that it will work.  I am notifying you
as soon as possible so that you can download the free Skype messenger
software and join us.  Last week I rerouted to a Skypecast, and this
week we are using Skype with VAPP High Speed Conferencing instead. 
Last week it worked; and this week there should be no interruptions in
the broadcast.

using Skype.  This means that if you are using Skype, then you will
not have a direct connection to the those in the Paltalk room but to
the other members in the Skype room and the room administrator who
will be streaming the meeting from Paltalk to Skype.

open, so if you and and friend want to see if you can talk to each
other through that conference room right now, and then tell me if it
worked, then that would help.  Thanks.
