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 ...)

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
