How about giving FreeWorldDialup (FWD) a try? http://www.fwd.pulver.com/ The protocol is SIP (RFC2543). Interoperability - check. The audio uses RTP. The endpoint needs to be a SIP phone - either a hardware one (and there's one for $70) or a software one. There's KPhone and some proprietary Linux ones. http://www.fwd.pulver.com/content/view/full/274/ The service itself is free. There are a few other free proxies, so if this one goes down you can use another. What's really nice about FWD is that Pulver supplies a NAT proxy. If both sides are behind a NAT, they can still converse! If you get to configure it and use it, drop me a line at FWD #23501 I can testify that I had spoken with my X-GF for literally HOURS from India to Israel, for nothing. -- Arik ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
