 OK,
 
Here is a question regarding Yahoo Messenger w/voice for linux.........
 
I DL'd the latest yahoo messenger for linux but cannot see where voice is
available.  What can I use to talk voice with someone who has a windows PC
with yahoo messenger w/voice?
 
Thanks
 
Steve

Tested Gizmo today, and it does in fact send tones. I was able to access my
cell phone voice box, no problem. Seemed to have smoother duplex support -
it can take advantage of alsa.
 
Retried Skype, and still no go on sending tones. Still limited to oss
drivers.
