I am pretty sure that go2call offer a SIP based service. SIP is an internet protocol so, in theory, their service should work with any softphone which follows the standard. Linphone, kphone and sjphone are three Linux softphones I am aware of. The first two are free software. Alternatively, you could invest in a SIP hardphone or analogue telephone adapter (ATA). > Has anyone had any success using a PC to phone app on Debian/other > Linuxen?

The three applications I mention function reasonably well with full duplex sound but my experience of using them for any length of time is not extensive.
