As a follow up to this last post. Fedora came out with a yum update that included another kernel. After installing the updates, I discovered that Ekiga is even running better then before the last post.
I was able to make a land line call to Indonesia from the US with the jitter buffer at 20%, the lowest default. The call was crystal clear and the jitter buffer stayed between 20 - 30 with no distortion. Another thing that changed is the lag and echo I used to get during voice conversations, that cleared up too. Damien, as you said, that is a weird as a behavior, but the results speak for themselves. I duplicated the results by calling from the US to other land line numbers in the US with the same excellent results. Then tried another overseas call and again, perfect. You're the expert, and these have been the results. You probably understand and can make sense out of this much more then I can. I'm just very happy that Ekiga is working so well now. By the way, I downloaded and installed the Ekiga 2.03 and I'm not really sure where you all are going with the interface, but I really do like the interface for 2.02 much better. It's cleaner and easier to us. I guess that after the vote, the new interface is what the majority wanted, so I'll deal with it. But for now I'll stick to the 2.02 Thanks Again, Ekiga Rocks (even better then before!)
