[SEL] Anyone using Skype

[Al Harris]

G'day George,

I'm hooked up with FWD for VOIP, but that's my problem. ;-)

However, your situation with Skype/computer having to be 
switched on and "sat at", has me just a little amused.

I don't need to have my PC's powered-up for FWD to be 
functional, only the modem/router. And I can be anywhere 
around the place with my portable phone on my belt, to be 
called/call. This should also be possible with Skype. If not, 
it's a scam. :-P

On my right hip is my mobile, on my left hip is my landline 
portable and dangling in front is my FWD portable.

Have you seen the old comedy skit about the loser trying to 
figure which of many phones is ringing. But at least I'm covered.

Cheers,
Al Harris
