Pretty easy if you use http://www.gizmoproject.com, which is basically an open source and SIP-based version of Skype.

You sure it's open source? I can't find the source and the license says this:


Wow you're right. Gizmo has been through a few incarnations from what I think were its original origins as just a client for the sipphone.com service. Now it's a chat/voice app that rides on XMPP and SIP... but sure enough it's only "freeware" not open source. My apologies for the misinfo.

Then again... an open standards alternative to Skype is at least a start. :) Though if Gizmo is making its money on service, I don't see any reason the client couldn't be open source... or better yet integrated into something like Pidgin.
