Intercom: Speaking to a Remote User

The Intercom service lets Timbuktu Pro users talk to each other through their com-
puter’s audio hardware.

To speak to another Timbuktu Pro user

1.

Select the remote computer or establish a Dial Direct connection. (See

Chap-

ter 4, “Making a Timbuktu Pro Connection.”

)

2.

From the Service menu, choose Intercom. Or click the Intercom service
button.

3.

In the Log In dialog box, log in as a Registered User or Guest User, or ask for
permission.

The Intercom window is displayed.

Note: If the sound card on your computer or the remote computer is already
being used by another application—for example, recording or playback—you
won’t be able to begin your Intercom session until the other application has
been closed.

4.

When the Intercom window is displayed, you can begin speaking with the
remote user.

Note: The Intercom window does not automatically stay on top of the screen
when other application windows are run in the foreground.

5.

When you’ve finished talking, click the red Close button.
