Seems like it does its own thing, which is bad for interop. I would suggest to people implementing a softphone for OpenMoko to use standard SIP, applying preferrably the GNU ccRTP library for voice streams. This implements the quite nice ZRTP protocol designed by Zimmerman of PGP fame. (I haven't noticed other free implementations of ZRTP; if such are however available, this killer advantage to ccRTP may of course diminish.) Relevantly, there may be a lot of potential synergy with the GNU Telephony Open Embedded subproject: "In GNU Telephony Open Embedded, one goal is to provide softphone clients, such as linphone, sflphoned, and twinkle, modified specifically for GPE and OPIE (Free Qtopia)." - http://www.gnutelephony.org/index.php/GNU_Telephony_Open_Embedded I'm sure many relevant people know all this already, but thought I'd toss it out again. -- Mikko J Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
