Zoep Goes Open Source

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-zoup-for-you dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Voipster has released their Zoep client-side VoIP engine as an open source project licensed under the GPL (now called OpenZoep) along with an OpenZoep Firefox extension. If you've been thinking about incorporating a VoIP soft phone client into your project, this article details the API and discusses how to work with the OpenZoep client."

  1. Gaim support for SIP as well by morgan_greywolf · · Score: 4, Informative

    Gaim 2.0 (currently in beta) actually has support for SIP/SIMPLE thanks to the Google Summer of Code.

    So we've actually had VoIP capabilities in open source projects since last summer.

      Actually, the best of these apps all of you have mentioned is WengoPhone http://www.openwengo.com/ - qt interface, uses ALSA, have working Linux video capabilities, "and more..." Check it out, it's GPL and very good indeed.

  2. Not quite. by Andy+Dodd · · Score: 2, Informative

    Even if GAIM has SIP/SIMPLE in the 2.0.0 beta releases, it's only for the text portions of SIP. (Yes, SIP supports text-based instant messaging. Shockingly, Microsoft Windows Messenger (not MSN Messenger) uses SIP as its default protocol.

    GAIM does *NOT* have "vv" (voice and video) support in the current 2.0.0 beta release, and will not have it in 2.0.0 final. It was planned, but removed because it wasn't anywhere close to ready. RTFGN (Read The Fing GAIM News).

    So... you want to be able to have a single number ring through to 10 alternate numbers at the same time? That makes no sense!

    No, actually it makes perfect sense. This is implemented in all traditional PABXes - e.g. someone phones your business and it rings several phones. Whichever is picked up first gets the call. Or another popular implementation of the same idea is hunt groups - i.e. a call comes in and it rings for a short time on one phone, if it isn't answered it rings another phone instead.
