Re: [Asterisk-Users] Softphone for Linux recommendation

2005-01-17 Thread Brian Johnson
I use iaxcomm (a little finicky to get working since it needs wxgtk files) and
linphone

Linphone is SIP and is a little trickier to get working when dealing with NAT
than iax (iaxcomm)

I chose these 2 because they seemed the easiest to get working.

They both work fine but are not as good sound quality as my hardware phones.

 when you want a system that just works, you choose Microsoft.

XLite isn't exactly OSS, isn't it? :)

I tried linphone, iaxcomm, gnomemeeting, and SJPhone. Pros and cons:

(1) linphone

Audio OK, but it doesn't send media when somebody calls me. Buggy for
me.

(2) iaxcomm

Generally good, sometimes crackly audio. When people call me with
firefly and * attempts a transfer, we experience huge audio delays in
the 10 sec range. Could be firefly or iaxcomm bug. Maybe both, as they
both use the iaxclient library. But as long as * sticks to notransfer
quite usable.

(3) gnomemeeting

Fairly good, but currently supports only h323. SIP support is underway.
Since I couldn't yet find a simple way to register with * without a
gatekeeper and have people call me, I'm currently not using it.

(3) SJPhone (for linux)

Not OSS, but for me best audio and latencies. Definitive con: there
seems to be no dial pad (i.e. dtmf interaction during call not
possible).

Especially, the OSS phone situation is not really bright, at least for
me.

Regards, Bruno.

 http://iaxclient.sourceforge.net/iaxcomm/

I should have added SIP reqd.  I assume this only does IAX2 but I will
look at it.

I have almost got sflphone compiled only I have hit a missing file in
one of the library compiles along the way.

Yes iaxcomm is an IAX softphone. I know Xten is working on improving
their linux support for their SIP based shoftphones.
