Help With Ekiga
I downloaded Ekiga and paid $15 to make calls to phones and cell phones,but I have no idea how to set it up or work it! I can't find anything out about how to work it on any place I've looked either.I need someone to tell me how to get this set up or a tutorial on how to get it going.I have set up Skype and had it working successfully,but that was easier than this.Thanks in advance,morayman.................
