Can someone tell me how to run PGPfone over Appletalk ? The documentation says that support has been added for this release, and there's a preferences box to check to use it, but there's no information I can find in the documentation on how to initiate a call over Appletalk.. it just says to enter a telephone number to dial. If I press 'Connect' without entering anything it hangs up the Mac.
How do I tell it which machine I want to connect to ?
I changed the preferences box setting, but then I exited and restarted the program so that it came up in "appletalk" mode. This is probably the step you are missing. I did this on two different machines, and then when I clicked connect it no longer tried to open the modem, instead it put up a dialog box allowing me to click on the machine running the other PGPfone. I did that and it connected OK. There is a nice audio simulation of an old-fashioned telephone bell ringing. Unfortunately my appletalk "network" consists solely of my power mac and an old 68030 mac laptop, the latter apparently being underpowered for PGPfone. The voice quality changed occasionally as the software adaptively tried different coders, and the powermac instance of the program finally printed a message saying that the list of coders had been exhausted.
