Skype-out half duplex problem
Setup:

2.4Ghz, 1GB RAM, Win XP, Linksys router, Linksys CIT200 phone, cable
internet.

I'v noticed that skype-out calls appear to be half-duplex. I.e. If the
other person is talking and I start talking as well, the other persons
sound stops. Other than that there are practically no problems, great
sound quality, no skips... It makes lively conversations pretty much
impossible though... Any one e ..

Dev Component for H323
Hi,

I'm looking for .NET (or ActiveX) component for VoIP (H.323) development.
I'm developing rather simple IVR, so support for basic stuff like
answering/denying calls, catching key digits, playing voices should be
enough.
So far, I found Pronexus VBVoice (full-blown but expensive), OpenH323 (seems
tricky to use in C#), H323 SoftPhone API...

Any suggestion is highly appreciated since I don ..

CAT-5 cable stuck in ethernet port - can't remove
