Hi Mark,
My GoogleReader suggested your blog today and I am glad it did. I have a lot to learn about genealogy blogging, but I’m getting started.
I am looking forward to your future posts.

Hi Mark, I was just catching up on my blog reading and caught your mention of SkypeOut challenges. I used to use Skype for our various conference calls into various kinds of bridges. I can’t recall having difficulties punching in the necessary conference call codes and passwords using the Skype keypad (the place/tab in their UI where you can manually dial a number) after connecting to the conference call phone number. I haven’t encountered a bridge that couldn’t connect VOIP calls and that would seem a little strange since there are companies that have standardized their comms on VOIP systems like those offered by Cisco. Anyway, try the number pad next time after you get connected to the conference bridge and you should be able to put in the necessary digits for codes. These get turned into audible DTMF tones so you should hear them as well as you dial them.

Skpe offers a monthly plan for $2.95/month – 10,000 minutes. I just recently started using Skype and still haven’t figured out all the nuances, but for $2.95/month it’s a great deal for some experimentation.
