RTCOMM was a beta of the SIP/communications stuff that would make it into Chinook (ITOS2008), so there's no need to install anything if you already have 2008 installed.


If you have a Gizmo account, the main important stuff you need to know is on the RTCOMM site. (When you get an account with Gizmo, you're really buying service from sipphone.com.) If you still need help with it, I can send you my settings (as I use Gizmo too) or you can look for another "Help, Gizmo!" thread that I posted my settings to. Can't remember the title, but I'm called a guru on it. (My wife laughs at that one.)

There's no dumb questions here. The idea was to help newbies get themselves set up with all this.. only problem is that we don't have our newbie-friendly tools finished yet.

I believe the Account Name/Nickname page of the connection wizard might only be in RTCOMM/ITOS2008. Account Name, if you are referring to the same thing I'm referring to, just allows you to assign that particular acccount a name for use on the tablet only. For example, my Jablet account is just called Jablet, but I have another Jabber account that I call Backup. It's mainly used in the Contacts list, where you can divide your users by connection.

Use the tutorial I linked. I know it's not the greatest, but it was something I slapped together in a few minutes.

Don't enter any AIM/MSN/whatever usernames/passwords into your tablet. You have to set that up on a PC (or I can do it for you manually if you send me your username/pass by PM).

All you need to input is the username you registered for on my Jabber server (in my case, jay), the Jabber server address (jablet.org) and your password. Enter all those in (most of the others aren't important) and you should be able to login.

Let me know if you're still having trouble and I'll walk you through it, step by step until you're done.
