And how does one install Ekiga on Windows? There is the "windows-only husband" one has to contend with. Yes, that pages lists Ekiga under Windows, but clicking through I haven't found a Windows download: http://www.ekiga.org/index.php?rub=5 Also, how does one do the equivalent of SkypeIn and SkypeOut with Ekiga? Looking on the website, but haven't found anything.
