If you would like to use analog telephone on an VoIP network, you need ATA (analog telephone adapter - ask google). But since this is a SIP client itself, you don't need ekiga anymore. For example, I have IP telephones at home/company and ekiga on my laptop. Ekiga allows me to register to my VoIP provider and make calls from wherever as long as I am connected to internet. Because I always login with the same provider, the calees always see the same caller ID. Hope this helps a bit, Jure _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
