I would like to carry out another test with another user of Ekiga > 3.2.6. Please respond to me directly if you can help. Why do you want to use 3.2.6, if I may ask? As far as I recall, 3.2.6 or 3.2.7 have bad connectivity issues which make Ekiga to freeze. > 2. We were able to converse. > > 3.

However, there may be an issue of case-problem which would result in clients that intended to be communicating with each other to not communicate.

It is also possible to use different software that use different protocol via gateway/bridge of 3rd party (i.e. SIP to land-line; Jingle to land-line; SIP <-> land-line <-> Skype). There are available gateways from SIP to Jingle and from Jingle to SIP. There is also Asterisk integration with Skype but I think non of them are available for the public since Microsoft took over <http://freeswitch.org/node/325>. c. In future, I guess, people will make plugins for Ekiga and other SIP clients that correspond with Skype protocol by reverse-engineered code, which is being censored by Microsoft and various of ISPs by blocking BitTorrent traffic of it <https://github.com/skypeopensource> <http://the-user.org/post/skype-reverse-engineered>. > 5.

I think just like you :-) Ekiga is not yet available for MacOS, MacOS testers are needed. Linphone and QuteCom (formerly known as WengoPhone), for example, do work under all three platforms. > Greg Flint > > PO Box 642 > Parap > NT 0804 > Australia > > Phone +61 (0)8 8945 1725 > Mobile +61 (0)428 279 021 > Australian Central Standard Time (CST) = GMT + 9.5 > sip: el_gallo_a...@ekiga.net > sip: 473...@sip.diamondcard.us > -- Proper English www.reddit.com/r/proper 4 teh lulz... http://email.is-not-s.ms _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
