Cross-Platform VoIP Software?

Posted by timothy on from the triplatform-at-least dept.

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?"

    I can't even get my mic to work on Linux for some reason, hm, maybe it's software, I'm still a bit of a n00b, but that's the first thing I'd need.

    FP?

      Can't happen. It wouldn't be possible for more people to click the link than came to the website to begin with.
