    what's up with this AW.net
    I know sputnik spoofs but not enough for google apps to open write and save. Is this what's happening with owb?

    suffice to say I tried but no js so I didn't get my contacts

    I read it...

    Seems interesting even if (as stated by Varthall) the page points to a trial of 10 days free service...

    Then you need to register the service, and also to have a working Skype account...

    So no real Skype...

    Also readers points that with OWB they now can surf these pages:

    Google Docs

    Google Calendar

    Meebo MSN

    Maps Google

    I can confirm that the Skype thing works, but not for audio.

    Google Docs and Google Maps work perfectly (and pretty fast!) in OWB3.1, but the missing download support limits you to saving online in google docs...

    Thanks for your testimony, but I'd rather preferred someone had had posted how the whole thingie works with Sputnik and MorphOS...

    With the said limitations, I won't even bother to test :) But it surely would be nice to have some VoIP program on Amiga compatibles...

    iirc, there are several old VoIP clients for (68k) Amiga on aminet, maybe some of them might work?

    Also note, that when someone mentions "VoIP", he usually means "100% compatible reverse-engineered Skype client", this is not the case this time :-)
