I was just at this site last night and thought it was pretty cool so I
signed up. At this point, I have to go in and reconfigure my router to
accept voice packets, but if you look in the faq's, they also talk about
linux solutions; granted those are for people using a linux box as a
firewall, but nonetheless... I would say that the biggest obstacle is being
able to use the java applet under linux - if your linux browser supports it,
then you should be able to use it (I haven't tried yet). I'm planning to
use it from my windows partitions now, and as soon as I get it going there,
I'll play with the linux side.
Good luck, Mike
