asterisk users - Jun 2003 - PDA's over SIP channels on Asterisk

Is it possible for two PDA's to communicate like telephones via SIP channels
on a PC running Asterisk?  If that is possible, does there exist any 
applications that can be installed on a Zaurus 5600, which is a PDA with an 
Xscale processor running on a Linux OS, that can essentially turn it into a 
softphone?  Thanks in advance for any input,

Daniel

Why not look into making a small wrapper around libiax for your Zaurus
and speak IAX? This setup should work better when you are roaming and
don't know when you will be behind a firewall,nat or not. You won't be
able to use gnophone due to not running X or gnome on the little thing. 

BTW, do you know if the little headphone jack on there works like a cell
phone where you can have a mic and a ear bud?

Use tkcPhone, it's a SIP agent for the Zaurus.

Certainly.  There are several softphone apps available for the
various platforms.  And you can of course talk to any other
systems, voip or otherwise, the * is configured for.

theKompany.com markets tkcPhone for the Z.  Their homepage says
they've ported all their stuff to the 5600?.

You can download tkcPhone from:

Any 2.5 mm headset will work.  You can apparently even use a regular
pair of headphones in an emergency (talk into one of the ears. :)
It is a standard Tip-Ring-Ring-Ring jack.

I've not tested it myself, but I think I recall a post on one of
the fwd lists that it worked well.

? in general software for the 5000D and 5500 should work on the
  5600, but theory vs. reality being what it is some Z apps
  have required some porting effort....
