I purchased tkcVox from the Kompany a couple weeks ago for recording talks I give / attend. However, I could not get it to run longer than 30 minutes (it would not prevent suspend as a couple other programs do). "Shaun" at the Kompany advised I should (paraphrasing) "set the suspend to a long time or disable it". However, that is not possible using the standard utility.
It has been suggested that modifying qpe.conf (http://https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=1796&hl=tkcvox) would produce the desired results, but the file is over written every time the utility is used. In addition, after several edits, I was only able to get tkcVox to run for 38 minutes at the longest.
After quite an email discourse with Shaun, he told me I was "the only one with this problem" and that I asked for a refund becuase I "found it inconvenient" to make the necessary changes to the suspend settings.
Am I totally out there? Anyone use tkcVox on the 6000 (with or without Qtopia) and it just works?

You can create a script to disable suspend. I had this problem as well. With information from other people, I created a script called "tkcVox-ns" in a directory in my path which contains the lines:
qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverMode(int)' 2
tkcVox_xscale
qcop QPE/System 'setScreenSaverMode(int)' 100
I then had to run
su
vi /home/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/tkcVox_c700.desktop
exit
exit
I changed the line that begins with "Exec" to:
Exec=tkcVox-ns
I have a C760. I also had to change the preferences inside tkcVox to change the Mic and Phone to
/dev/dspdefault
instead of what it originally was.

Thank you! Before posting, I had come across your Feb, 2004 discussion with lardman and tumnus but could not complete the process. I will use your additional detail and report back.
