Getting Started with Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh

| 59

To find a remote computer using the Skype tab

1.

In the New Connection window, click the Skype tab.

The list of users from your Skype contact list is displayed.

The Skype icon in front of each contact’s name indicates their online status.
The word Yes in the Timbuktu? column indicates that the contact’s computer
is running a Skype-compatible version of Timbuktu Pro.

2.

In the list of Skype contacts, select a contact.

You may make a Timbuktu Pro connection to any Skype contact who is online
(the contact must have allowed you to view their Skype status) and whose
Timbuktu? status is Yes.

If the Skype contact is online, but no Timbuktu? status is shown, you may still
use the Timbuktu Pro interface to establish a Skype Call or Skype Chat
connection.

If the Skype contact is offline, you cannot establish a connection from the
Skype tab. However, their computer may still be running Timbuktu Pro. You
may be able to make a connection with another connection tab.

3.

Choose a service from the Service menu, or use the Button Bar to click the
service button that you want to use. For detailed information about each ser-
vice, see

“The Timbuktu Pro Services” on page 71
