Guys Just a quick note to let you know there is a new release of PacPhone. www.pacphone.com This version includes: Secure Instant Messaging: You can now send secure instant messages between PacPhone clients (inside and outside a call) using any version of GnuGK. The method uses lightweight call setups to initiate Instant Messaging sessions. It should have no effect on any other H.323 equipment you might have. For instance you might try to open a IM session with a H.323 IP Phone and the device should just simply reject the call (PacPhone should display "No Feature Support" call end reason). Each IM session is protected by a single use key negotiated between the parties in the call setup and the messages are encrypted to AES256. It also supports hyperlinks and emoticons. The interoperable unencrypted version source code has been released under MPL in the openh323 project. Registration Priority: You can assign a registration priority to PacPhone with GnuGK (new in v2.2.5) to avoid "duplicate Alias" issues. For instance you might be using an IP Phone and PacPhone with the same registration. When you register PacPhone with a higher priority, it will instruct GnuGK to unregister the IP Phone and register PacPhone so calls will automatically flow to the softphone. Enhanced NAT Traversal: PacPhone already has GnuGK Nat traversal support. In this new version (to work with GnuGK v2.2.5) calls can be placed to and from NATed H.323 clients without the need to proxy any media. This is achieved by PacPhone negotiating with GnuGK to instruct the NATed endpoint to stream the media directly to the PacPhone client. This greatly enhances the scalabilty of GnuGK by reducing the amount of proxying needed. Future versions of PacPhone and GnuGK (under development) will allow the streaming of media directly between the parties even if both parties are NATed. Oh and there are a few other small bug fixes too. BTW: There are a whole lot of other "features" sitting in the wings which are going to be developed/released over the coming months which will hopefully turn GnuGK and PacPhone into one serious "Skype killer" :-). Simon I am still looking for translators, if anyone is interested then please do let me know offlist. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
