I have successfully used Ekiga cross platform for all of the above. But I accept that it isn't an equivalent to Skype. It probably won't meet other not specified requirements to call it a "real alternative". But as with many things being free(dom) software has advantages too. But Ekiga does meet your specific points of sound + video and it does to NAT traversal and it worked successfully for me between my Debian GNU/Linux machine and a MS-XP machine. And it is packaged for Debian. http://ekiga.org/ But to frame the date correctly I used it solidly off and on for several months through the summer and fall of 2009. I haven't been using it recently. But it worked awesomely for me then. Bob
