I am using the linux_base-8, if someone could tell me how I can start calling people it would be very useful, I have read maybe 2 articles about this on google and both tell me to install ports that no longer exist. > > Thank you again. > -ARCKEDA > That's because OSS by itself doesn't support more than one channel at a time.
