FWD.Communicator

FWD.Communicator
Free World Dialup Communicator is a multi-IM tool and allows for video calls to other
FWD.Communicator users. FWD.Communicator can see your AIM, ICQ, Jabber, MSN,
GoogleTalk, Skype, andYahoo contacts for Instant Messaging only. If you select a Skype
contact for a voice call, FWD.Communicator will launch Skype and call that user using the
native Skype application.Anyone calling you on your FWD SIP account can contact you
through the FWD.Communicator client because it is a SIP softphone, but that will be cov-
ered in the next section. One serious drawback of this video call solution is that you cannot
see both the sender's and the caller's video windows at the same time and must switch
between the windows.This is not an acceptable feature for a video call solution.
FWD.Communicator is not ?rewall friendly for video calls and you will need to open ports
on your DSL/cable router as described in Appendix A.
The Pro version supports multiple SIP con?gurations and support for the open source
Asterisk SIP server.This is a bit of a technical solution and not for the faint at heart. If you
have a SIP video telephone device and con?gure it to use the FWD SIP Proxy, you may be
able to have a video call with an FWD.Communicator user if the codecs are supported and
the video is properly con?gured at the SIP Proxy; at minimum you will get an audio call.
So you may have issues using FWD.Communicator and a video telephone over the
Internet, but on an internal LAN it should work ?ne. One drawback of this client is that
you cannot see both the sender's and the caller's video window at the same time and must
switch between the windows.
