Just installed asterisknow 1.6. I can access freepbx. I need to test system on my LAN. Which softphone is best to use? I'm running ubuntu on Dell optiplex G260 desktop at home. I'm hoping to setup basic IP PBX for incoming/outgoing calls. No video. Tom

No video.We've tried out Qutecom, Linphone and SFLPhone, and all three work well for our client's environment (call-out centre). We finally implemented Qutecom for most of the desktops, for some reason that escapes my memory right now. Ekiga was just too heavy for our needs. There's also Twinkle, which is what we use for testing since it's light and fast.

As a bonus, you can use any degegistered smartphone - that is, one not hooked up to the cellular network,only wireless - as a softphone. sean

With ekiga you have the adresbook, but you have to use the mouse everywhere (the return-button gives unexpected results) And with jitsi (java-based) you are independant of Qt/GTK. hw

I meant a phone that no longer has the ability to use the cellular network - only wifi. For instance, we have a couple of Droids that used to be on Verizon. They work just fine as sip-phones over wifi. sean
