Hi Simon,
Thanks for the reply above. I had put the device aside as I was unable to get it working.
I would like to have it working, and will, as time permits, try using it on another PC with PCLOS KDE4 installed.
Thank you for the directions ….. will see how it goes, and report back if I have any news.
regards.

Hi,
I got some time tonight and 'went at it'.
After a few 'fits & starts' it appears to be working completely! :D
I had to launch the api daemon with the -f option as suggested by 'changedsoul' in another thread. A big 'thank you'!
I also installed some extra packages to get things to build for me …..
sos
python-argparse
gcc-c++
which were not already installed. There may have been one or two others I have forgotten :D
The only item I need to look at is the quality of the audio ….. it is a bit 'hissy' which is likely due to hardware here, but if anyone has suggestions they would be gratefully received.
So, thanks again for the help.
Much appreciated!
Regards

I have one question regarding its use …. it starts up in 'Line' mode; I can switch to 'USB' mode by first lifting the handset and then dialing a '*'.
When I do this, Skype does not 'op up', whereas if I first, through kb2kSkype, switch to 'USB' mode and then lift the handset, the Skype window will pop up and allow me to select a contact to call.
Is this a failure with my install, or is there a hack I can use to not only switch to USB mode but also cause Skype to pop up when I dial the '*' ?
I hope I have explained clearly what I mean.
Thanks again ;)

Can you try a hack for me.
After line 196 of "b2kinterface_socket.py" add
self.emit(SIGNAL("OFF_HOOK"))
Note the number of spaces indenting should be the same as the previous line, so it looks something like
elif txt.contains(b2k_messages.KEY_STAR, Qt.CaseInsensitive): if len(self.phoneNumber) == 0 : self.sendb2kUSB() self.startDialTone() self.emit(SIGNAL("OFF_HOOK"))Hi Simon …… thanks for the quick response …. it caught me napping :D
Yes it worked - on a Skype test call.
Thank you!
All is good in my VOIP world !
:D
