Great stuff Graham.

One small problem, (and it might my screen resolution for webpages)
The first graphic you've included in the guide "Manage API Control"
overlaps the last two paragraphs following;
"Now we have what we need this is what to do.
Install Skype. Set up an account lets call it MySkypeGateway for this
exercise".

I hope I've made myself clear, and if it is my resolution at fault, could
you please send the last two paragraphs before the "Manage API Control"
to the NG.

Cheers and nice work.

Yes, I noticed the same. [I think it happened in more than one place, where
text was covered by a screen-shot]

I wondered whether it was browser dependent (I use Firefox) and was going to
try it with a different browser, but haven't yet got round to it.

It's all good stuff - albeit totally new to me - so, in addition to the nuts
and bolts of how to set it up, I could do with a bit more explanation of
exactly what it sets out to achieve, along the lines of . . .
"When you want to make a call, you dial it on XXX and it gets routed via YYY
and ZZZ and you get charged NNN"

"When someone wants to call you, they dial XXX and it is received by YYY
which diverts it to ZZZ so that your Skype phone rings" or whatever. [It
sounds like there are more steps than this, but you can probably see what I
mean. The routing may well be implicit in what has already been written, but
it needs to be a bit more explicit for the likes of me!]

Thanks Nick, it was only the most signigicant part of the whole thing,
Sods law a suppose. I haven't done a site like this for yonks, and I'm
using Publisher fore the first time rather than Front Page. There seems to
be
a limit to how much text you can type in a text box. Seems OK now and
hope it makes more sense

I've added a couple of lines after the introduction.
Any call to the Skype client on the gateway PC is auto-answered immediately
with a dial tone. You simply dial the number you want.
Incidentally, if you get to the stage that you want to test the gateway
from a conventional Skype application on another PC or PDA,
you don't use the normal Skype keypad, there is a smaller DTMF
keypad selectable from a menu obtained by clicking the little arrow
icon immediately to the right of the volume slider.

Thanks for doing the update, but still experiencing some overlapping.
However, this IS browser dependant, i.e. Firefox.
I fired up an old machine and viewed the site with MicroShaft, all is
presented fine.

Thanks for all the replies - very helpful. Due to the availability of a
geographic number, in the interests of time and not overcomplicating
matters in Fresher's Week we decided to go with the default 'freewire'
option (when she finally gets round to getting her net access
authorised, we'll find out if it works...)

Follow-up question...!

Anyone know if it's possible to configure a pause into my Siemens S685IP
(S68H) voip handset? I need to be able to save a long freewire account
number to be dialled after the landline number, for this system to be
viable in practice. No mention of this facility in the phone's
instructions, and google ain't helping either.

Thanks
David

On my S45 If I hold down R it produces a P. Suspect that is pause.

No - I am sure I have used it to pause.

It certainly is - excellent! (WTF isn't that documented in the
extensive user manual, or even on the Siemens website as far as I can
see?!)

Now working a treat.
