Hi gang, Sorry about this post, but I felt it'd help a lot of SuSE users who might be interested in it. You can even get a free sip address from a link on the site! Also, I don't have anything to do with Ekiga, just a normal user. ======================== Ekiga 2.00 is finally out! Today's announcement represents one year of relentless work. Just a reminder to everyone that Ekiga is now the first Open Source software to support both SIP and H.323 in the same application. Ekiga, previously known as GnomeMeeting was already a pioneer among the Open Source Voice over IP softphones. Let's hope Ekiga will continue in this way! Among the features, you can find: * Full SIP Support * Full H.323 Support * Audio and Video Support * Call Transfer (SIP and H.323) * Call Forwarding on Busy, No Answer, Always * Call Hold * DTMFs Support * Basic Instant Messaging * Ability to Register to Several SIP Accounts Simultaneously * Possibility to Use an Outbound Proxy (SIP) or a Gateway (H.323) * Message Waiting Indications (SIP) Brand new features include: * Better Audio Quality * Support for Wideband Codecs (16 kHz) * Echo Cancellation * Easier NAT traversal * Improved camera Support * Improved Video4Linux2 Support Finally, this revolutionary version allows you to register a free SIP address at http://www.ekiga.org. If you would like to know more about how to test Ekiga, please refer to the FAQ section. -- "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a brave and scarce man, hated and scorned.
