Re: [Ekiga-list] Question about placing a call from Ekiga witout having to add the registrar's information

[Eugen Dedu <eugen dedu univ-fcomte fr>]

Hello,

I am sorry, but currently, there is no workaround for that.

Several users on the mailing list expressed their concerns about the 
automatic completion, and I think we (developers and users) need to 
agree on an "algorithm" (solution) which fits all needs.  I will think 
of it later, once we fix the bugs in the developement code of ekiga.

Regards,
Eugen
