In fact there is a Linux version of the Dynamic Update Client available at the http://no-ip.com site which is very easy to install. I am still a relative newcomer to Puppy.

Incidentally if folks wish to test their PSIP Puppy Phone with a live human being rather than an echo test they can give me a call via the Iptel account when it is on-line. Sharing experiences and observations may help the further development of PSIP.

Unable to get my sound working on my new PC.
See details of mobo and sound here.
I'm looking for a PDF manual for the mobo.

There are 3 sockets on the back:
Pink=mic? | green=line out? | blue=line-in?
Mic connected to pink.
Amplified spkrs connected to green, with headphones connected to the headphone socket on the front of the powered spkrs.
Speakers given power, and switched on.

Missed the opportunity to test in 1st run of Psip-1.2.

OK...
Just now managed to use the "Media Test" files stored on my Flash Drive.
Played the "wheelie.mov" file, and the sound was OK. Very Happy

So how do I test it and set it up in Psip-1.2?
Should be easy, right?! Confused

Now managed to play music in Psip.
Tried the echo, but heard nothing, even with mic switched on and plugged in.
Retrovol has mic [and "Front mic" (its mobo header not connected to any socket)] boxes ticked and volumes up.
I have SVR installed, but heard nothing when I tried to record and playback [don't know what I'm doing].

Guys, a note, we will be needing the executable binary used in Psip compiled for ARM (armv6) architecture.

Barry,

Attached is Puppy Phone (PSIP) compiled in sap6 Cool

- pjproject 1.14 (I thought this was the latest, but then I checked it after compilation I saw they have released 1.14.2 ... anyway I'm not going to recompile unless people have problems with it - pjproject compilation took hours!)
- osxcart 1.1 (latest)
- psip proper from fossil trunk (latest - I haven't updated anything since last november)

This is a straight-compile, I haven't optimised anything (or enable optimisation flags etc).

I have been trying to get PSIP 1.3 up and running in Precise Puppy 5.4.1.1 on an Asus EEEPC. My main goal is to call landlines and cellphones.

My sip provider is diamondcard.us (www.diamondcard.us). I think all of my PSIP setup is correct. I can connect to landlines and my own cellphone but I invariably get an audio disconnect (and the call disappears from the active-call list) after about 10 seconds.

I have set my console log level to 6, but the activity log and dmesg do not seem to have any useful information.

I have been using Twinkle/diamondcard.us as a softphone/sip provider under Precise Puppy 5.4.1.1 with no problems, but I would prefer to use the Puppy softphone.

Anyone know what causes the disconnects and how to eliminate them?

A long time ago I had a problem of calls disconnecting after a fixed period of 30 seconds and disabling SIP ALG in my router cured it (if I recall correctly).

Doing that stopped the disconnects, but did introduce a problem of connection established but no audio (sometimes one way - sometimes both ways) which in turn I resolved by making sure to always set a STUN server.

I have since changed my ISP and router so can't reproduce the problem now. These SIP softphones can be a bit temperamental and there are lots of variables which is why I like to have 2 available. Puppy Phone usually works well and gives great audio. I have Linphone as my alternative.

Is Twinkle still being developed? I didn't think so. I recall trying it once in one of my Puppies and it didn't perform very well.

Thanks for your response, OscarTalks. I know zippo about how routers work, but I did manage to get inside mine and check all of its settings. However I could find no "SIP ALG" to enable/disable, and saw nothing about a STUN server. Just my inexperience as to where to look I guess.

Skype, Ekiga and Twinkle work with my router and its settings without disconnecting the call, which to my way of thinking, makes me doubt that router settings are the real issue when PSIP disconnects.

I want to use PSIP as a VOIP when travelling out-of-country, where international roaming charges on a cell phone would be prohibitive. Surely all of the wi-fi hotspots, airports, hotels and internet cafes in the world must adhere to the same protocols, or VOIP would be a nightmare!

I think you are right. Twinkle may no longer be actively developed. Maybe I should give Linphone a try.
