Re: [Ekiga-list] video comm test

[Georgi Georgiev <chutz gg3 net>]

Come-on guys, it's an *echo test* "to give you an audible sense of the  
delay between you and the server running the echo test application"  
(quoting from memory). Playback doesn't cut it. Neither does a webcam  
pointed at a still object. Calling 500 ekiga and feeding it the moving  
logo gives you very nice visual sense of the delay as well.

Quoting Oliver Schinagl <oliver schinagl nl>:
