Default best old version of Skype? - 04-05-2009

Hello, and please forgive me for asking a question that's probably been asked before — I'm a theatre composer on tour away from home for six weeks, and I need to Skype my partner from a very old laptop (his is a current MacBook, works fine with current Skype) — what I have is a white iBook, G3 500 MHz, 10.3.9 — I've installed Skype 2.6.0.151, and it works fine for chat — the built-in mic is broken, so I bought a USB mic, and tested it once, talking to my daughter in Italy — not great, but audible — now, trying to talk to my partner, I can hear him, and he can't hear me at all — checking Audio in System Preferences, my settings are correct and the mic shows a strong signal — I also can record fine in Audacity, so I know the mic is operating OK on this machine — Skype help tells me to adjust the volume setting in Skype, however, I can't find any audio level setting window in this version of Skype —

is there a later version of Skype I can use with my little old laptop?

You skype was not he problem. Either your friends computer sound devices is blocking him to hear you. Kindly tell your friend to check the sound properties and as for you kindly do the same thing also. In this way we can detect which computer has the problem.

Version 2.0.0.73 is quite nice!! (Although i wouldnt keep it as its over 19 megs installed (HUGE,WAY OVER BLOATED))

My favourite version was 0.97.68 (9 megs installed) but they changed the server thus disabling the older GOOD versions..
