Skype is offering a new version 4.0.0.206 with dramatically improved
sound quality. Unfortunately I found an incompatibility with the web-
transceiver client. When logging out there is always an error message
coming up "run time error 6" - overflow and the skype connection is
not disconnected. This message is probably caused by visual basic. Any
ideas around how to solve that problem?
Sounds like Skype changed the user API interface, i.e. the interface
it presents to another computer program. This will require some
digging. In the meantime make sure you disconnect Skype. Note that
this could cause problems in the Host cannot auto disconnect Skype and
the client has not disconnected the link. The Host side Skype will
appear busy.

The posting re: Skype has reopened a big problem. I no longer will be
doing much coding. I looked into the new Skype API and it would
require a significant redesign in the current code, something I am not
willing to undertake.
While I will continue to support small changes, big ones like this are
not in the cards.
If there is someone who wants to continue this project, then I can
make the VB source available

I was looking at playing with the new Skype API anyway.

Slightly different problem. IRT is geared toward one or a very
limited operator set, so best to directly connect Skype to Skype
without the IRT software getting involved. So don't think there is a
big problem there.
The same software is being used as in the Webxcvr and IRBHost. The
VB6 is used with a VB module provided a while ago by Skype. The VB6
software can read the Skype interface and is able to initiate a call
and terminate a call, i.e. with the older versions of Skype.
There have been a lot of upgrades by Microsoft over the years, e.g.
VB.Net, etc which are not reflected in the old remoting software. I
think the best thing to do would be to totally rewrite it using a more
modern and hence supported language, such as C++, etc. That is a much
larger job than I want to tackle at this time. After spending over 10
years in this area, I have moved on and out of software related
activities.
I believe that the technology for remoting now is something like
interactive Flash, etc that will be consistent over computers and
mobile devices. Again not in my job jar these days.

I am not a professional software programmer but have some experience
in programming and I am very interested in the source code of your
client/server software to keep it up and running, it's still the best
solution for public remoting with the guided concept and it's a pitty
to abandon it... I hope to be able to provide some minor changes just
by reverse engineering...
