We also have a CRM that I am going to add it to. Adam. We had planned to have a sample database to start with but I will be integrating it into the Personal NAB as well.

I would love to take a look at it when you get done. Sounds like a great idea, are you customising your NAB or creating a separate database? I would love to take a look at it when you get done.

I have been using skype a heap lately and it is spreading with many of my contacts. We had a great experience a few weeks ago with Skype and Sametime. Whole of company meeting, 5 different States in Australia, Skype Conference call with loud speakers and Sametime for a Presentation. Very powerful stuff and it didn't cost us anything (except a bit of bandwidth). Anyway the reason for posting was to mention that we are developing (just for interest sakes) some code that we are planning to make available to integrate Lotus Notes databases with Skype. The way it will work is that we will make available a sample database with a contact list. In each contact there is a field for their Skype name. To date we have it so you can select a contact and instantiate a Skype call. This works from either the view or the document. We also got awareness working today so that you can see in the Notes view the current Skype status of the contact. We are adding a few more features to the list and need to tidy it up a little however I thought you might have some comments/suggestions. If you want to have a look let me know and once we have it finished I will send you a copy to play with. Cheers Adam. G’Day Steve,

DTMF? I have a 20-year old matchbox sized tone generator that does the job near the microphone.
