Simsig Pannel talk

[morgantyreman]

Would it be posible to use msn ( other messangers are avalibe:-P ) to talk to each other whiles playing simsig. Like box telephones ?

F10 is already available for this purpose.

Some of us do occasionally use Skype.

what is skype plz

 

[Tomnick]

Oi! Are you trying to suggest us signalmen have got nothing better to do than gossip on the phone?!

(incidentally, I suppose Skype could work in a similar way to the circuit phone - where all signalmen/others on the circuit can talk at once if they so wished?)

Indeed. It has a 'conference call' feature which allows up to a certain number* of people to be in the same call and all talk at once if they wish.

* = I'm not sure of the exact number of the minute, I think it was recently increased, used to be 5 or summat.

 

[Tom]

It's still 5 but there is a way to work around it.

We've used Skype for KX before, it works well!
