asterisk users - Jan 2004 - newbie to asterisk

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am a newbie in using Asterisk. I am interested in its SIP.
Before I start to use it, I would like to know whether the system can work
between two Linux box without any FXO and FXS card and just using microphone
which connect to the regular sound card? I am looking into others applications
and all of them are using at least one FXS card.
Sorry for such beginner problem and please help.
Thank you very much for your time.

Max

Here are 2 apps you could try:

KPhone: http://www.wirlab.net/kphone/what.html
LinPhone: http://www.linphone.org/?lang=us&rubrique=1

If you want to try with H.323 (v4), you can give a try to GnomeMeeting,
a great communication software:
