Finally found a reasonably up to date SIP client/VOIP softphone that will work directly under Ubuntu 9.04 on the EeePC:
Tried many, many alternatives without success (most commercial clients that are otherwise available for Windows or Mac have not been updated for Linux for years, and the GPL/open ones are not so much better). This one pretty much worked straight out of the “apt-get”/Synaptic box for me. A little playing with settings to figure out the right places to put in my Galaxyvoice account info and I was off. Phew, another task checked off.
BTW, I really like Galaxyvoice. They’ve provided my home phone service for several years now. Much better call quality than Vonage in my experience. Billing is weird — the on-line account records never match what my CC gets charged… but since it is never more than $10 in a given month at my usage level, I don’t care. Sometimes it is as low as $2! Really, $2 to make and receive phone calls for a month – and they have a profitable ongoing business. And real people in Massachusetts take my calls for service. You have an alternative…
