Given that Google Talk, MSN, iChat, and others all use SIP as a voip transport, and zfone sits in front of any arbitrary SIP connection, you might have luck using these things with zfone, no client-integration directly needed.
he also makes the statement that this technology/standard (zfone) would be integrated into the end-user software, in the near future. I'm not sure why he's so confident, it's nice but who's to guarantee any sip softphone end-points or better yet, hard telephones, will actually have this built in.
Because the original version of Zfone *was* a softphone. And I believe he's still working on one.

ermm.... unless the traffic were going over totally standard ports... which it still is.
Tangentially, let's not forget that sometimes one *wants* to be able to shape traffic. If you can't tell a voip call from an evercrack connection, they both get equal priority, and that's bad news for your mom and 911.

That would be exactly the reason why commercial VOIP carriers refuse to guarantee local 911.
Wikipedia, Cisco, and the blogosphere would seem to disagree. Or, in less demure tones: you're wrong. --Naomi
