Suggestions for VoIP software on lenny please
in [Debian]

From: George on 11 Feb 2010 09:40 I'm away from home right now and need VoIP to communicate with my loved ones. Skype works, but it's a CPU hog, has an awful GUI, it messes up with the soundcard, it's extremely buggy and thus a pain to use. I've tried Gizmo, which sorta works but it's unusable because the sound is horrible, to the point that you can't tell whether there's a human or a malfunctioning robot at the other end. Linphone and Ekiga don't work at all. So at the moment I'm stuck with Skype, and I really don't like it. Any suggestions would be welcome. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster(a)lists.debian.org

Localy I have SIP phones (CISCO 7XXX) with that. When I am on the road I use zoiper (free as in beer) with the iax protocol. This way you have less issues with NAT. This works even over 3G Wireless network. -- Henning Follmann | hfollmann(a)itcfollmann.com it consultant | www.itcfollmann.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
