Looking for an "open" protocol, open source voice phone client that works without using Linux emulation -- and can work with more than two clients in a conference call situation. And having Windows and MacOS X clients is fine too. But client is not needed as long as the protocol is standard for existing clients there too. (I do have access to a Asterisk server, but I want to attempt this without using a server. If that isn't doable, please let me know and I will then use the Asterisk server.) The goal is to get rid of proprietary Skype for BSD-focused conference calls. I don't know SIP or H.323 -- do these require a server or can multiple clients connect to each other for a working conference phone call? I don't need connections to real phone network. What do you use? Any recommendations? In ports, I see: cphone, kphone, linphone, ohphone, ekiga, kiax. I also read about PhoneGaim, tkphone, KCall, SFLPhone, wengophone, and Twinkle. So many choices, need to know where to begin. Any pointers to URLs on experiences on FreeBSD would be great. Thanks!
