[LAD] Connecting to Ekiga from the rest of the World

[Julien Claassen]

Jens!
   a short note about gooletalk, to clearn things up: There's a real program, 
like start it from your disk and execute, that requires windows. But there's 
supposed to be a system-independent net-app, something like a java-applet or 
so, which you can run from the browser. And under Linux there's at least 
asterisk that can do it.
   Other tools you might try for Ekiga, is freeswitch in connection with some 
SIP-phone app. Freeswitch seems to be something like asterisk only smaller.
   Or if this doesn't work, there are some free jabber services. Jabber now 
offers Jingle, which is a Voice over IP. Jabber is a free xml format. So there 
should be apps for all systems. Under Linux there's telepathy, not sure about 
their jingle status, but there should be others. Googeltalk is nothing but a 
jingle dialect, from what I heard.
   HTH.
   Best regards
         Julien
