  1. Re:IP-telephony over two-way satellite? on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 1

    People are doing that today. Check out loral skynet.

  2. Re:Gateways outside the US? on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 1

    MicroTelco uses gateways that are located throughout the world. It selects the one closest to your destination OR the carrier that your prefer to use. Rates are set on a GLOBAL basis rather than higher just because you might be outside the USA. http://www.quicknet.net and http://www.microtelco.com

  3. Re:Card v/s software-only on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 2, Informative

    The costs of bandwidth for the carrier side (where the call gets delivered) is prohibitive. AND many many users still are on various forms of dialup. End result is that carriers don't support that format, usually, for VoIP services unless being paid for on a private network. BUT (!) the software and hardware do support G.711 AND the harwdare gives you echo cancellation, auto gain control, and telephone device integration.

  4. Re:security flaw in linux? on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 1

    You should educate yourself before swearing sir "Coward". GnomeMeeting and the Openh323 stacks DO work through NATs and firewalls. Also if you use the H.245 Tunneling options it reduce the number of required ports. This is NO different than ANY other VoIP protocol.

  5. Re:Not ready yet. on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 1

    It is NOW ready. Check out http://www.linuxjack.com Drivers in the kernel, stack and application ALL open source.

  6. Re:Why use a desktop computer at all? on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 1

    Quicknet also offers support for the CISCO ATA devices like the units you mention. You ahve choices.

  7. Re:just wait a bit.. on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 1

    Why are these comments only being posted by "Anonymous Cowrds" ?? GnomeMeeting + Quicknet gives you a great, proven, solution from outfits that (a) have their drivers in the linux kernel, (b) have been long term supporters and advocates of open source, (c) give you choices AND open source access to the technology.

  8. Re:My idea on Finally: PC-to-Phone Calling from Linux · · Score: 1

    You will not have the benefits of a DSP with a solution like that: - PROVEN international connectivity - DSP based echo cancellation - Automatic gain control - Internationally approved ringer There's a reason companies liek net2phone , D3, Dialpad and Agilent chose to use Quicknet's hardware as their reference platforms.. ;-) Try it and see.

    But not to a telephone for free... ;-)
