Free Linux Sip Clients / Softphones

karl — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 01:45:39 +0000

Here’s some SIP clients I’ve found that work well in linux.

Zoiper
A new one I came across just recently, works great, very easy to configure and use.

X-Lite for Linux

Has very good voice quality, and works well, but has an odd interface, which makes it harder to configure.

Ekiga

Comes preinstalled on Ubuntu Linux, and works ok, but I’ve had problems with the G711 ulaw/alaw codec with it, voice quality seems to drop quickly with this codec.

Just had an issue with an Apache server on CentOS which uses SELinux, nothing major. In order to enable UserDir with SELinux you gotta set some boolean flags, here’s the article.

Been using HellaNZB to download all my NZB files lately for newsgroups. It works wonders, downloads, par2 verifies and extracts. Leaves me with nothing else to do but watch/listen/run what I downloaded.
