Well for starters treat this as an in person interview. Use proper grammar, etc. Refrain from 'uhmmm', yep, etc. Another tip, write down on a piece of paper the word 'smile'. Smiling will surprisingly come across in your speech. Also, have a copy of your resume and the job description in front of you.
As far as technical, hard to say. OSI model definitely comes to mind. Be familiar with as many acronyms as possible, etc.
Good luck!
