Gaim support for SIP as well (Score:5, Informative)
So we've actually had VoIP capabilities in open source projects since last summer.

There is no real good quality end to end VOIP solution in open source yet, which is surprising given that open source communities have done some really good work in audio and video compression (Vorbis, XviD) technologies as well as distributed networking (BitTorrent).

GAIM does *NOT* have "vv" (voice and video) support in the current 2.0.0 beta release, and will not have it in 2.0.0 final. It was planned, but removed because it wasn't anywhere close to ready. RTFGN (Read The Fing GAIM News).

While they are good projects, and I hope that they continue their developments, they are not exactly mainstream:
- kphone/linphone: Setting up SIP accounts is hell for people not familiar with SIP (and behind firewalls/natted).
- iaxcomm: Wonderful, easy to use/setup even behind NAT, but you must first setup your own Asterisk server.
I've seen PR from companies such as Wengo [openwengo.com], which of

You don't need an asterisk server to use iaxComm. Peer to peer works just fine. I _think_ I put instruction in the online help, but they're also on the web page, and in the QUICKSTART that comes with the source

An open source VOIP app that just plugs into your browser. Now, the only question is, does it support SMTP style aliases?

No, actually it makes perfect sense. This is implemented in all traditional PABXes - e.g. someone phones your business and it rings several phones. Whichever is picked up first gets the call. Or another popular implementation of the same idea is hunt groups - i.e. a call comes in and it rings for a short time on one phone, if it isn't answered it rings another phone instead.

Skype is almost there, but I find it unsuitable for conversing with folks using dial-up connections, in addition to not being open source.
