Ekiga is a SIP and H.323 compatible VoIP, IP Telephony, and Video Conferencing application that allows you to make audio and video calls to remote users with SIP or H.323 hardware and software. It supports all modern VoIP features for both SIP and H.323.
Ekiga is the first Open Source application to support both H.323 and SIP, as well as audio and video. Ekiga was formerly known as GnomeMeeting.
After more than one year of work, Ekiga 2.00 is finally available. Ekiga is now the first Open Source software to support both SIP and H.323 in the same application. GnomeMeeting was already a pioneer among the Open Source Voice over IP softphones, and we hope that Ekiga will continue in this path.

* Full SIP Support
* Full H.323 Support
* Audio and Video Support
* Call Transfer (SIP and H.323)
* Call Forwarding on Busy, No Answer, Always
* Call Hold

15:41 DIY VoIP megaplatform for $200.[read] The VoIP Weblog Asterisk@Home 2.7, the Linux distribution made for simple, rapid configuration of the Asterisk PBX on plain PC hardware,
has been released. Along with a cheap Wal-Mart PC (as suggested by the folks at Nerd Vittles) or, better yet, a sub-$200 used-ware
PC on eBay, A@Home has more signaling power than your typical $60,000 SS7 switch. (Not sure about the five nines
reliability though.)

14:40 Comcast, aren't you embarrassed yet?[read] The VoIP Weblog After following the packet-mangling hi-jinks of a (curiously silent) Comcast for many moons, it appears somebody has
actually gone through the motions of graphing the failures
evident on the Comcast network: failures that occur during Vonage use. I can concur with this, as I've measured
similar behavior using different tools and using Packet8, not Vonage. Other users have caught
Comcast red-handed stifling VoIP
traffic. And of course, who could forget the classic Comcast "bitch dog"
incident? So, Comcast, is it time to fess up?
Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments14:28 Jeff's post-Katrina petition[read] The VoIP Weblog Designed to avert a total lack of emergency communications in the wake of another Katrina-like disaster, Jeff Pulver and
Tom Evslin have submitted a petition with the following suggestions (to the FCC):
We primarily ask for a mechanism to ensure that individuals are reachable after a public crisis that causes communications networks to go down. We propose a solution that we think could provide immediate relief before the next hurricane season and before more elaborate rules might feasibly be established. We ask simply that the FCC require any provider obligated to provide E911 services to establish an alternate communications service for affected customers via either: (1) activating for each customer a voicemail service that would be accessed by incoming callers dialing the customer's phone number, or (2) providing expedited local number porting to an alternate service provider selected by the customer, including porting to a number outside of the geographic area and/or rate center. Either of these proposals would provide a technically feasible and reasonable means of ensuring that consumers remain connected during emergencies.
I really, really like these suggestions. The first one is just a common-sense suggestion. But the second one has benefits beyond the scope of disaster preparednes. Faster number porting mean better competition. Better competition means better uptime. Now Jeff has also said that he doesn't intend to pitch IP-based infrastructure using Katrina as the impetus. I say "why not?"
