HI, Govanni

Thank you for your reply.

I would disagree.

Let's say you have a VOIP gateway with 4xE1s.  One E1 is playing up, an 
there are 60 calls going on the other E1s.  In order to fix that E1, I 
don't think anyone would want to force the whole system down, and cut 
all those existing calls.

Basically, I just add a new interface to skypopen.conf.xml, then run "sk 
reload" via fs_cli.  I see all the configs of the existing interfaces 
show up, but nothing on the new interface.

Please note that the error I mentioned isn't related to mod_skyopen 
module itself.  It's the starting of a skype instance in a Xvfb server.  
>From my experiences, it could take up to 3 minutes for a skype user to 
login to the skype network on linux via Xvfb, and this not only applies 
to the first time login either.   When this error happens, the skype 
user cannot login to the network even after such a long delay, and just 
returns "P2P connect failed" at the end (Tried this 5 times with a skype 
user with the same result).  The funny thing is, it only happens with 
the Xvfb server.  When I used a real Xserver, with GUI to log in to 
skype, it would work fine. Thereafter, it works ok with Xvfb server too, 
as probably the "good" settings are stored in the skype configuration 
directory by now.


Thanks.
