Hi Guys,
Any Pennytel subscribers out there tell me of the best Softphone, codedecs, and config etc, to install on 10.04LTS.
My actual VoIP system is going to be out of order for a few days, while I'm doing some reno's, and thought the soft phone idea might be an option.
Pennytel have their own from the members area, which work ok in Chrome (sadly crashes Fox), but hoping to install something so I can just make calls from desktop/Panel etc.
Any advice much appreciated.
Cheers,
Rob

I don't use pennytel but I have used empathy with telepathy-sofiasip and
it works pretty well.

Cheers

Dave

Well, how about that. I've finally found a reason to use Empathy :)
All this time I thought it was just the Pidgin alternative. Never gave it
a thought that it supported SIP.

Anyway, installed the plugin from Synaptics, added the account details,
and 5 minutes later I'm back on the phone making calls.

All too good! Many thanks for that, Dave.

Cheers,
Rob
