Then Ekiga is for You! Since it's free software (free as freedom), it is probably what you are looking for. I am using it, although very rarely, because most of the people are not willing to change from Skype :(
If you don't like Microsoft, as it seems, I recommend You switching to some GNU/Linux distribution. Or at least consider having dual boot <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-booting>. Good luck! ;) McZ /Martin crysman Zahradník/ /www:/ crysmanovo.blogspot.com <http://crysmanovo.blogspot.com> /e-mail:/ [email protected] /jabber:/ [email protected] /Google talk/hangout:/ [email protected] /facebook:/ no way! /Skype:/ no way! using Ekiga - SIP:[email protected] running GNU/Linux Xubuntu On 27.9.2014 13:21, Peter Sharpen wrote: > Dear Sirs, > > 1.
