I am wondering whether KTp is actually already an alternative to Skype these days…
Who has experience with KTp regarding audio/video connections compared to Skype?
I'm using the asterisk PBX for over 10 years now at home. Clients for SIP/TLS and the asterisk-specific IAX2 protocol are available for pretty much every platform. Over the years I have "educated" many of my friends to contact me through this system. They mostly have specific user accounts on my system and can also call each other through that. In addition to specific accounts, I have an open IAX2 address to which calls without registration are possible. It is a little bit of an effort but due to the fact that I anyway use asterisk as PBX for my landline and GSM connections, it was no "extra" effort for me to integrate important contacts. Another nice option is Mumble which is much easier to administrate, also pretty secure and also has clients for pretty much all platforms. Bottom line: if you want to be really secure, you have to run your own communication server. As long as you use 3rd party services, you can never be sure who is monitoring your conversations. -S -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface
