The VoIP client traditionally included with Fedora is GnomeMeeting. It's a fine application and it works pretty well. However, it is based on H.323, which is the old VoIP protocol that's being less used these days. There's a trend nowadays to start new VoIP deployments using SIP instead of H.323, or even, in some cases, migrating existing implementations to SIP. Modern VoIP PBX implementations, proprietary or open source, tend to support SIP out of the box, with H.323 often as an afterthought. See Asterix. It is probably worth keeping GnomeMeeting around, since it proved itself as a reliable tool, but perhaps it is time to keep up with the evolution of the technology and offer a SIP client with Fedora. I suggest Linphone: http://www.linphone.org/?lang=us&rubrique=1 Despite what the homepage makes you believe, it seems to also support video, not just audio (but i didn't verify that myself): http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/linphone-users/2003-12/msg00030.html http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20video -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
