This software only works on Windows PCs and will not work on Macintosh computers. We recommend that you connect to the Internet with at least a 56 kbps connection speed -- the higher bandwidth, the better the sound quality on your calls. Recommended equipment -- a good headset or a microphone and speakers, and the latest version of your sound card driver. You can pick up a good headset for under $20 from any office or electronic retailer. Headset Example

A NAT is often used between private networks (like those used at home or at work) and the Internet to map a private IP address to a public IP address. Routers and software gateways (such as Internet Connection Sharing in Windows) usually also function as NATs. Firewalls, on the other hand, filter access to protected networks. PalCalls works with most NATs and firewalls without any additional setup. However, if your calls do not connect or you experience one-way voice, you likely have a NAT/firewall problem. In that case, you will need to ask your network administrator to open ports on the firewall or set up port mappings on the NAT.

No. Internet phones use UDP to transport voice over the Internet. Most proxies, including HTTP proxies, SOCKS 4 proxies, and some SOCKS 5 proxies, do not support UDP. If you use such a proxy, you will not be able to make Internet phone calls. SOCKS 5 proxy support will be available in future versions of PalCalls.

There are many factors that are involved in a VoIP call. The most important factors are a fast Internet connection and a good headset or speakers/mic. The performance of the call may also be affected by having many applications running on your PC which will use up much of your RAM memory. Try shutting down some applications during your call.

Believe it or not, most of the acoustic echo you may hear is because you have your sound too high. What happens is your microphone (or your headset mic) will pick up the sound coming through your speakers (or your headset speakers) and will cause an acoustic echo. If this is happening, the best thing to do is to simply turn your speaker volume down. You do not need to turn your microphone volume down.
