Make sure you tweak the settings (codecs, bandwidth) before giving up on Ekiga. That said Ekiga seems unstable on Windows at least it freezes for my sister when we try to get it going with my Linux machine. When I worked with VoIP we used Xten's soft phone on Windows. I think they call it X-Lite now. It is proprietary software but open protocol (unlike Skype). There a list of clients on the Ekiga site that might be of interest to you: <http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Ekiga_Interoperability> /Allan -- Allan Wind Life Integrity, LLC <http://lifeintegrity.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
