Hi Janina,
Thanks for the reply.
I will definitely make use of the offer to test the call once I have
gotten things sorted out on my side.
At work, we have a quite elaborate firewall setup, which I think is
confusing linphonec.
At home, I currently have a wifi range extender which is acting up.
I also tried the linphone on Android, but struggled with that. There I got
further with a client called csipsimple.
I will email you once I have all my ducks in a row.
Kind regards, Willem

Hi, Willem:

Good day,
Now that I feel the Internet speed here in South Africa is such that one can
start looking at voip, I have installed linphone.
That's a good choice.
I created an account at linphone.org which was confirmed by email.
That will help. For some reason I've never figured out, SIP works better
if you're registered somewhere. So, just go ahead an register whenever
you launch this SIP client.
I do not seem to have the sipomatic program for testing my setup, and a
quick google search give e the idea that it is no longer part of linphone.
So, here are a few, some of them dumm, questions.
1. How can I verify my setup is correctly configured without sipomatic?
I've never used that app, and never even heard of it, actually.
Meanwhile, I've used linphone for years and years.
2. I saw on the linphone.org site that there are over 300000 users, but is
there a way to look for people in that list?
Not really.
I.E. If I want to know if any one of you is on linphone, is the only way for
me to find that out to email you first?
Well, you'll see my SIP address in my signature block. Please feel free
to call me and test your setup out.
PS: In case you missed it, you may prefer using the console SIP client
with Speakup (or brltty) instead of the rather clumsy graphical client
with Orca. I say the graphical client is clumsy because you have to
navigate around a 12-key keypad to actuate dtmf. That's much easier in
the console, for instance:
To launch the console app:
linphonec
To see the various commands:
help
Example of a help command you should look at before calling:
help soundcard
Hopefully, you're going to use something like a USB headset, rather than
trying to rely on your case microphone and speakers. The above command
will show you how to set that.
Configuration file is at:
$HOME/.linphonerc
