Use of Hidden Dialer in Windows XP |
|
|
Just discovered "Phone Dialer 1.50" software by Active Voice that is
installed on this Compaq computer. Software is part of Windows XP, and
can be started by going to Start/Run, and typing "dialer" in the Run
Box. I appears that it is possible to have an audio/video conference
with up to 6 other people. Interesting with a lot of possibilities,
but when I try to set up a video/audio connection to another computer
(Also running Dialer), the software dials the IP address, connects,
and I can briefly see the other party's video, and then disconnects.
If the computer I am calling is also running Net Meeting, I can
connect to that computer, but that's as far as I have been able to
get.
Does anyone have any instructions or detailed info on the use of this
hidden Windows feature???
Compaq/HP tech support said they do not support the operation of a
feature only support if not working at all. Frankly, they never heard
of it before.
Active Voice claims program sold to Cisco in 2001. No info from Cisco |
