Cross-Platform VoIP Software?

feilkin writes "With the release of Skype's Linux client, I'm wondering about alternatives. Namely, cross-platform solutions for voice communication. I've got friends who are using Windows, Linux and OSX, and I'm hoping that there is a way to communicate with all of them. I myself am using Linux, and I haven't been able to find any solutions that seem fitting to my situation completely. Does anyone have a solution that'll be useful on all three platforms, or solutions that may be coming in the near future?"

  1. Skype for Mac coming shortly! by timealterer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    On June 16, 2004, there was an internal demonstration at Skype of the alpha version of Skype for Mac.The alpha version worked well and the development team is working towards a beta launch of Skype for Mac in about 2-3 months. The other major OS that Skype doesn't support is Windows 98, and there aren't official plans for that as of yet.
