I'm shooting for a system on my Planet workstation that I can use to support a team who are probably all windows users. We have no problem connecting to the phone network; we pickup the handset on our desk phone or our cell phone. We conference call now. What it's looking like now is I'll use ogg files. Record, balance, shrink. Requires my folks to get winamp; no big deal. I'm still a unixnewbi but I think try to make a script that will somewhat automate the sequence and handle the call loging and history. And I can hope that others on our team can have a similar ability on their windows systems; Audacity is cross platform and works well on my system. (and I wonder: should I go mp3? sigh..) Thanks for listening, Marv ps Does ogg2mp3 exist?
