I've successfully used Twinkle for the last three or four years,
despite its bitrot and lack of updates from upstream.  I *once* had
Ekiga working, but it gave me so many problems a few years ago that I
had given up on it.  Sounds like it's time to get it working again, or
try to get some of the next generation open-source softphones
compiling for Fedora and then packaged.

I have a whole zoo of hardware IP phones (and am willing to donate
phones to a good home!) too, but I spend enough time on the road that
a softphone is nice to have as well.
