Enter your first and last name as requested.

You don't need to register for an Ekiga account unless you wish to. It isn't required to use your Comms-Lab account so tick the box.

Again, you don't need an Ekiga call out service to use your Comms-Lab account so you'll probably want to tick the box again.

Select the most appropriate Internet connection type, presumably DSL or Lan.

Select the desired Audio device responsible for generating the ringing tone on your machine. You may have a seperate device for the audio.

If you have a webcam, select it here.
