Hi, Ok, did a little more digging.
More info about Google Talk from Google themselves: http://code.google.com/apis/talk/open_communication.html An article on voip-info.org, the place to go for info on Asterisk and VOIP in general, says that support for Google Talk is available in the 1.4.x branch of Asterisk. http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Speaks+with+Google+Talk A more detailed article at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+Google+Talk Since Asterisk is a fully blown software PBX, installing it just to get this working may be overkill for you. You may be able to hang a Linux client off a pre-existing Asterisk setup that will do the interconnect for you. Also, the second article sited above suggests that only ULAW/ALAW works right now, so if you need something lower than 64kbps, this may not be the way to go for you. This thread on the Ubuntu forums suggests some other alternatives, with mixed results. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2660687 http://www.gtalk2voip.com claim to offer interconnects between Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Instant Messenger and SIP phones free of charge. They also offer many other free and pay services. This could well solve your problem pretty easily. They also mention some web thing which I didn't look at. Ok, so that's enough tralling through Google search results. That should give you enough to go on with, or at least to generate a whole host of new questions. :) Geoff. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
