One of the key features of our product is Internet Telephony where a user can not only call other users on the Internet, but also make and receive calls from standard telephones. We've investigated a number of possible solutions, but they all have shortcomings. The most sour part of the situation is we may have to move our launch platform to Windows if we cannot find an acceptable Internet telephony solution. It'd be highly disagreeable with myself and several others in the company as well if we have to do this, but we can't drop a key product feature and we don't have the time or the resources to develop the technology in-house. Suggestions for Java (preferrably) or C/C++ solutions, and/or references to companies that provide said technology would be extremely helpful." The 'key feature' in question is interface customization. You can find out more in the article.

    "It is an absolute MUST that we be able to customize the interface of any such client application. Second, it MUST be able to run on Linux and Windows with minimal pain (the product is coded in Java). Lastly, the quality MUST be fairly high. So far, solutions like HearMe and OpenH323 are either incomplete, lack quality, are not cross platform, and / or do not allow us to create our own interface."
