I may have spoken too soon about my VOIP client of choice
On Friday, I grabbed a copy of the Gizmo Project VOIP program. It's somewhat similar to Skype in functionality, but rather different in underlying mechanics.
What grabbed my attention about the Gizmo Project was that it uses an open VOIP protocal that's also supported by the FLOSS Asterisk PBX. In addition to being an open protocal, the codecs used by the Gizmo Project claim to be able to provide good quality voice transmission over dial-up links. Finally, although the conference service is still not supported, I was intrigued by the software's free conference service.
So, I've set it up, and invite you all to do the same so we can evaluate it. I'm on as arifmamdani, same name as on Skype, so feel free to give me a call!
