Hey, all. I'm looking -- if possible -- for a decent, multi-platform soft-phone. Specifically, Linux and Windows; that way, I'll go through the same issues my end users do. I've noticed a couple (e.g., minisip, which seems abandoned, and sip-communicator, which, honestly, is probably a great IM client, but has a confusing interface for actual phone calls). So I'm wondering if anyone has any favorites. Failing multi-platform, I'll stick with Twinkle on Linux, and gladly take suggestions for Windows -- OSS if possible, but payware is acceptable. Thanks! -Ken -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

However XLite for Linux is a version behind - or was last time I looked, so the interface had changed slightly. I've not used Zoiper under Windoze for a while, but it might be OK. It supports both SIP and IAX now. Not OSS, but free for the basic version. Gordon
Hi Ken, Can it be an IAX client? If so, I'd recommend KIAX. I used it once, both on Linux and Windows, and it worked for me. []s Ronaldo.
