Whilst we are at it, is now the time to create a "voip" or "telephony" 
category?

There's an increasing number of these ports
* asterisk and it's clones/derivatives/competitors
* all the support libraries, enhancements, etc for the above
* skype related items
* SIP clients

At the moment these are randomly spread over a selection of categories 
including:

net/
   eg
   asterisk*
   freeswitch*
   callweaver
   openh323

devel/
   eg
   pwlib

misc/
   eg
   libpri
   dahdi
   freeswitch-pizzademo
   freeswitch-scripts
   zaptel

audio/
   eg
   speex
   libvorbis
   gsm
   freeswitch-sounds
   freeswitch-music

comms/
   eg
   spandsp
