I suspect there are more. I ended up using kphone, actually I started up using it :-) The only slightly tricky thing is that gizmo requires their client to get registered. So I fetched Fedora 7 rpms for GConf2 and ORBit and installed them using linux-glib port as a model (without going into trouble of doing it properly). After that I could register with gizmo linux client successfully. Unfortunately the client didn't work past that, it exited with some obscure error like "Can not start UA0". But I didn't care, I used kphone from that point on. -- Andriy Gapon
