RW operation

Please, when you install RW, follow simple steps of configuration microphone setinds, volume and transmit key or voice activation.
When you start RW you see this:
RW start up

If somebody else is hosting the RW, he will send the RW channel. Some thing like: 192.162.72.11:3783/my_chan
So you must hit JOIN button, and copy exactly that channel into the "address and channel of the host" field.
Maybe you need a password. the host will tel you.
Then hit join.

If you whant to host a RW session:
First hit "Host base station" in main RW window.
Then write a channel name (any, try to put some short name)
Optional add a password
Check "Hide this base...."
Final click on HOST button

A DOS windos will pop up. This is the server, dont close this window if you dont what to kill the server.
Just minimize after you select and copy the Channel Address to send to your mates.
Allso you will need that info, because when the host is started, THEN you allso have to JOIN to the server.

TEAM SPEAK

I hear about one program called TEAM SPEAK. I have downloaded but not yet tried. Seems very good. Time will say.
Here you have the web URL: www.teamspeak.org
They just released a second version. TS2. Apperas to be 2 programs, one is the client, and a separate one is the server. :( ...
The good notice is there is a server running in linux :)
team speak 2 client
Update!:
I have tested. Works fine.
Sound quality is not so good as in bc. But have some advantages
There are public servers on the web site. You just download the client and click in the web page link:
team speak 2 public servers
You can test there all setings. Allso you can register for fre and get an Nick name (i done, like 83rd_Matias).
So i think if we all use as default the public server1, channel 83rd we can have all time communications. No setup needed!!!
Just log on zone and start TS in server 1, joining 83rd channel... COOOOOOOOOL.
