e SIP phone clients, both Telephone available from the Mac app store and Blink available from http://icanblink.com both work well. They sound better too.
I just noticed this long thread so someone else has probably brought this up, but it drives me mad how the new Skype keeps saying "Skype has new window." every single time some kind of change happens, like someone going online. Maddening! I don't keep Skype open for that reason. - Austin On Apr 30, 2012, at 6:03 PM, Steve Holmes wrote: > In addition to Skype, are there any good SIP phone clients for the Mac > which are accessible?
