Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux

Posted by timothy on from the that's-getting-very-slick dept.

Greg Herlein writes "There is finally a way to do direct PC to Phone calling from linux: GnomeMeeting now supports decent quality, low-cost VoIP calls to any real phone in the world. It's about time." The calls are through a company called MicroTelco; read this FAQ page to learn more about it. (And don't forget TheKompany's approach to IP-telephony-with-Linux, using a Sharp Zaurus plus Net2Phone.)

    You fucking LU)NIX HIPPES make me want to vomit. Give up the ghost, LUNIX will never replace Microsoft Windows on the dsktop because you are building stupid shit like this into your product, instead of useful things like Visio or Outlook / Exchange calendaring. Let's not even tlak about the godawful GUI, lack of hardware support, and incomprehensible CLI.
