Re: [Ekiga-list] Ekiga test today

[Polaris <polaris vfemail net>]

I was on the other end of this test.  We first assumed that freezing up 
and "loop back video" problems were due to bugs in the 4.0 ver of 
Ekiga.  If the 3.2 ver is considered more buggy than 4.0 than would 
someone with 4.0 installed like to give me a call so I could test my new 
camera properly?

Thanks,
