Stuart Can you explain how you set up an account to do this that you say below: " You don't actually need ekiga.net to talk with someone via SIP (e.g. I have family members on an openvpn private VPN, and we just directly connect to the private IP, via private name service - and the call is encrypted as well)."
I am interested in the possibility of IP to IP communication.
