Does anyone know if you can use softphones on thin clients? I have a new customer that wants to use Eyebeam (about 10 users) on a thin client platform. Each user has a little box on their desk that has a USB port, mic and headphone jacks and monitor. I am worried about conflicts when running 10 softphones on the same server since they will all try to use por 5060. -- Telecomunicaciones Abiertas de M?xico S.A. de C.V.

I've used HP Thin Clients as embedded hosts for Asterisk. The T5700 models that I have are 1 GHz CPUs, more recent models should be able to run a soft phone without too much trouble. They all have local USB ports, making USB headsets as good solution. Another alternative might be to used a soft phone implemented as a web plug-in or activex object. Tim Panton of PhoneFromHere.com has a great Java soft phone object that we use to make G.722 calls to the ZipDX conference bridge for the VoIP Users Conference every week.
