Re: [Ekiga-list] calling phone with Ekiga using Voipbuster
I use Ekiga with VoipBuster all the time and it works very well. I use it for "in country" (USA) as well as to foreign countries. I would like to use Diamond Card since they are associated with Ekiga, but unfortunately VoipBuster is less expensive.

[Ekiga-list] calling phone with Ekiga using Voipbuster
Hi list, I have found some simple instructions to register a Voipbuster account on your favourite softphone, I have tried with Ekiga and it works, though I still haven't tried to call anyone. Does anybody have experience in calling landline phones with Ekiga using Voipbuster? Thank you.

I have posted it to http://pastebin.ca/263742 I see a 404 Error followed by a timeout when waitung for PDU. I have not enough insight to know what this means... Thanks for helping!

If you are using a gatekeeper, both of them will register to the gatekeeper and contact each other using the 'alias'. You have to add an H.323 account to register to a gatekeeper. If you are not using a gatekeeper, direct IP dialing is the only way to get in touch.

Terminals which provide multimedia content using this protocol in the H.323 "zone" (e.g. Microsoft NetMeeting) are required to register "at the gate". The registration goes into effect, once the terminal provides its address. So, if I understand that correctly, the NetMeeting user will have to register with a gatekeeper, but not the Ekiga user calling him? The link gives an explanation of how it works, but once more there is no indication of who provides such a service. Since Damien says he doesn't know, I assume that I can forget it for now.

[Ekiga-list] [Announce] : Ekiga Wins the " Trophées du libre" Award
Hello all, I am proud to announce that yesterday Ekiga won one of the Free Software Awards in Soissons. Ekiga was nominated in the "Multimedia" category. The jury appreciated the quality of the project and the fact that it was original (GnomeMeeting was the first Open Source GUI to support VoIP together with video and the H.323 standard on GNU/Linux in 2001). It is now the first Open Source application to support multiple VoIP protocols at the same time, again with audio and video. I would like to thank the organizers (http://www.cetril.org) for this award, and all the supporters and developers of the project. I would also like to thank my employer NOVACOM (http://www.novacom.be) for permitting me to work in the Open Source world. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- //\ Ekiga Softphone : http://www.ekiga.org/ v_/_ NOVACOM : http://www.novacom.be/ FOSDEM : http://www.fosdem.org/ SIP Phone : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ekiga-list mailing list ekiga-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list

It is unfortunately incomplete. There is a bug in the gentoo ebuild that prevents correct logging to operate, but we don't know which one. But are you sure that Ekiga is listening on the appropriate interface? Can you sniff the traffic on both routers and see what happens?
