Ok, I just lost enthusiasm in further use of skype. Being closed source was

Microsoft is taking it over, I suddenly lost faith that these good features 
will still be there from now on (not to mention Linux support).

Thus the question: is there a FOSS VoIP app that provides roughly the same 
quality, reliability and free-as-in-beer service?

I do know that there are such VoIP apps, but I am not familiar with the 
quality of service, availability and accessibility of each of those. I am 
willing to migrate and start persuading my existing skype contacts (which are 
scattered all over the globe) to migrate to a FOSS solution as well. But I 
cannot do that if this alternative does not provide functionality that at 
least matches that of skype. It has to be up to the task.

So which one is on the top of the list, in your opinion?

TIA, :-)

I am sorry to hear the MS is taking over skype.
I am afraid that MS will soon alter the proprietary
protocol so that existing Linux and other non MS
ports will cease to function.

I have tried to run VoipBuster windows app on wine.
It always fails for connect to the main server.
