I would like to know the answer to this question also. I've been reading about Google and xmpp and jingle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_%28protocol%29 I found a firefox plugin I could download. >From URL: http://www.google.com/chat/video I clicked "Install voice and video chat" and got to URL: http://www.google.com/chat/video/download.html I installed the rpm. I haven't tested it much...I did call my google voice number to see if I could answer and I could. I assume I can call out too, but haven't tried. Always keeping firefox running is not satisfactory for me. I have an older machine, with not enough ram or cpu power. I was hoping to use an open source voip client program. empathy seems to use libjingle and will let me know when there is an incoming google voice call, but it doesn't work. Google voice wants me to "press 1" to accept the call. I have no way to "press 1" in empathy. I haven't had any success with any other client program. I tried kopete, gajim, without success. It used to be google voice worked with sip if one had a gizmo5 account. Google discontinued gizmo5 recently. I heard rumors there are still ways to call google voice from sip, but that doesn't help me. I want to use an open source client, and can no longer use a sip client. If anyone knows how to get one of these xmpp client programs working with google voice, please share that information. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
