Ekiga 2.0 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday March 13, 2006 @07:11AM from the truly-free-speech dept.

Some Anonymous Coward writes "After about one year of development the former GnomeMeeting team has released Ekiga. Ekiga is the successor of the popular GnomeMeeting. Ekiga calls itself the very "first Open Source application to support both H.323 and SIP". Ekiga is based on the h323/sip codebase, provided by the openh323 project. Also introduced with this release is ekiga.net, a platform to provide the community with free sip addresses."

Is this compatible with consumer VoIP? by fak3r · 2006-03-13 07:19 · Score: 4, Interesting

Will this be compatible with consumer VoIP? In otherwords, I'm considering signing up for Speakeasy VoIP (already have DSL with them) which would cut out our phone company ( something I'd love to do ), so would this work with that? At home I would use a normal 'phone' but on the road could I use this to make/recieve calls on my laptop? What other advantages would this provide? Back in the day I did some internet phoney thing, but it was early in dev and not very useful. With all our calls going out on TCP/IP I'd imagine this app would be helpful, but I still haven't grasped what it's all about.

Thanks.
