PN_VOIP - designed and created from the mind of K5HUM Copyright 2008 - All Rights Reserved G. Mike Raymond PopToy VOIP sub menu CHOICE EXPLAINED: A new (5th) PopToy sub menu titled "VOIP" was added for running any 3rd party P2P voice client/servers. You can rename your favorite VOIP program to PN_VOIP.EXE and put it in the same folder (directory) with PopNote. It will be called when you click on the PopToy sub menu choice, VOIP. With permission from Marko Vitez, the creator and author of the freeware Peer to Peer voice chat program PicoPhone, PicoPhone164.exe will be bundled with PopNote starting with version 2.3.9. The PopNote 239 installation utility will places "picophone164.exe" in PopNotes default folder. Then the installer will place a second copy of picophone164.exe and rename it to "pn_voip.exe". Special Note: PicoPhone does not require any dependency libraries (DLL's etc) and should run fine on any W98, XP or Vista systems that have a 32 bit sound card capable of concurrent (full duplex) sound functions. REMEMBER: Like any client/server program, PicoPhone will require you to "port forward" UDP port 11676 through your Modem - Router - Firewall setup chain. For more details on using PicoPhone, visit the authors web site at: http://www.vitez.it/picophone/ Any questions, contributions etc for PicoPhone should be directed to Marko. His email is: marko@vitez.it CAVEAT: When PopToy VOIP program is called it may appear behind or under PopNote's main window depending on how your PopNote window is sized and where it is located on your desktop. Minimize PopNote if you don't immediately see the VOIP GUI. In addition to PicoPhone, another small freeware VOIP program, VoiceChat.exe is available. VoiceChat is also a Peer to Peer based VOIP utility. VoiceChat uses TCP PORT 701 which must be port forwarded thru your Modem - Router - Firewall chain. Download VoiceChat from the authors site here: http://www.yazakpro.com/yazak/VoiceChat.exe Since I have been unable to obtain permission to bundle VoiceChat.exe with PopNote, its up to you to download and try it. There is no help available for VoiceChat but it is fairly easy and intuitive to use. VoiceChat.exe also requires the complete Visual Basic 6 run time (VB6) library to be installed and registered on your PC. All U.S. XP or Vista PC's should come with the VB6 library of DLL's etc pre installed. If not, you can download and install them yourself with this VB6 library upgrade utility: http://freecreed.com/downloads/yazak/VbRunDLLv3sp6.exe -[EOF]-
