Ekiga, jingle, jabber, asterix, freeswitch ... Telepathy? :-D

OK Julien, I understand that you have been looking into these matters,
but isn't asterix for when you want to set up your own service? - Like
the one Pulver had before Facebook?

Anyway, since there are only two connections involved, I think the
problem should be solvable by doing a direct computer<->computer
connection, no? No need for signing up for some additional rip-off plan
with my dearest phone/internet-maphia.

IIRC, the (ancient) Mac-client has that option, somewhere.

(Now if I only had had legs two miles long so that I could be in two
places at once, debugging and supervising that things happens the way
they are supposed to do, then ...)
