Brilliant - thank you!

The 'control' shortcuts do not work over Terminal Services ie when the focus is within TS.

I have a program (TSRemoteExec) that does a 'call-back' to the originating PC from within TS for auto-dialling:

"C:\Temp\TSRemoteExec.exe ""C:\Program Files\NCH Swift Sound\Talk\talk.exe"" -dial " & "1831" & strCallNumber

'-dial' is the parameter.

Is there one for 'Hang-up' and maybe others?

Telstra charge about 27c/min plus flag fall to non-Telstra and less to Telstra phones. I am on a 10.4c per minute 'test' plan but the VOIP provider is very bad. I have a 'dormant' 18c/min account and have started to use them. So sorry your rates would be too high. But I wish you the very best with your new service.

Anyway after switching to this VOIP most mobile calls are auto-disconnecting but landlines are not - go figure.

OK I'll keep digging thanks.

Problem is that I'm using not using a router but "Internet Connection Sharing" (temporarily for a few mths) and have checked the "delivery of ICS PC" and cannot see any firewall.

Maybe ET has problems with ICS networks?

Anyway pythonpoole I filled the survey and noticed your logo at the end (Skorptec). So you're starting up a VOIP service I presume - I don't think you're going public (listing on the stock exchange) and laying cables - anyway all the best.

PS - did you develop ET and other related telephony products - if not then would you mind telling me who did.

I have just checked and double-checked: On my PC I disconnected Norton's AV and on the PC with Internet Connection Sharing there is no firewall nor AV.

BTW what does "Unable to auto-detect public IP. Using private IP" mean?

Also ET set up port 5070 during the install process but you mention 5060 - does it matter?

Still does not auto-disconnect.

Sorry forgot to mention:

No firewall on my PC nor on the Internet Connection Sharing PC (I am using ICS temporarily).

OK so I ran the Network Wizard and it set up the 2 STUN servers. 'stun.softjoys.com' and 'stun1.faktortel.com.au'.

Now when I make a call I get the following messages - the call goes thru but ET will not auto-disconnect.

06:40:39 Also check STUN settings or use different STUN servers.

06:41:06 Call has disconnected

OK so the called phone hangs up but ET keeps ticking away.

Don't care whose problem it is - I just want to understand what is going on and fix it.

I have set up ET on 4 PCs. 3 work fine but the 4th. has no audio inbound.

During the setup the ET Wizard said that a Firewall was blocking UDP port 5060,5070, 8000 etc.

I have no firewall on that PC and ALL PCs access the Internet thru the same router.

Thanks for the reply.

But apologies, the PC to PC setup is described in ETs HELP files. I did not look there.

Any ideas about how to set up Express Talk so I can talk to someone on anothet PC that has ET>

I have looked everywhere on the NCH website FAQs but no mention of this.

I have Express Talk (free) installed on 4 PCs and 3 work fine.

On 1 PC I cannot HEAR anything over VOIP but when I use the "Audio Setup Wizard" all is well.

All the options (in Exp Talk) on all the PCs are EXACTLY the same.

I have run out of ideas.

Could the router be blocking something?

I can call out no problems; didn't mention that before.

I do have a static IP address.

Is it used for incoming calls? There will be none.

So is it worth setting up?

Every 10 minutes my log file shows "Unable to auto-detect public IP. Using private IP."

Any ideas?

I need to set up Express Talk on many PCs. To install it I have to be an ADMIN account, that's OK. But then for each user (on that PC) my understanding is that I have to go thru the options setup over and over again.

I know I can dial from my application (eg user dble-clicks) on a phone number but can VRS store/retrive that recording by an account# number.

Of course the normal database keys would be used by the VRS software but this ability is very important for associating calls to company activity.

Sure you can retrieve a call by phone# and date/time but any company would want to associate these calls with say an account# or whatever.

Thanks PT. I will lok at the products you mentioned.

(Any consultants out here for a fee?)

However I am not trying to make concurrent calls from the one instance of ET BE on the desktop.

Just the ability to select different SIPs programatically.

I am tech proficient but do not have time to delve at a detailed level.

I need to talk to someone who knows these NCH products very well regarding my wish list that I have accumulated over the last 2 years.

I will gladly pay for talk time.

Please email me something about your experience. Does not have to be very detailed. Phone # also please.

I want to use different SIPs depending in type of call (to mob or landline etc).

And can they be programatically controlled via command line parms or whatever.

Stunning! Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

I want to be able to dial a # from my app.

eg 'ExpressTalk.exe dial=035984562' or something like that.

ET would already be logged on to my SIP.

Only the dialling would be automated.

Thanks
