Fedora's default doesn't install the dialup tools, it's just a click away though. The other night I happened to be monitoring my skype session with tools in pfsense & found that it was consuming between 100-200KB all the time while connected with video. I haven't done audio-only in a LONG time so I'm not sure on that end. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
