There is an amazing void in the softphone space. Nearly everything out there is junk. I have however come upon Blink and it looks pretty darn promising. I've used it once or twice in the past, but I can't really remember my thoughts. They really seem to really focus on features, I think the free version is open source, it's written in Python and GTK based (I think). Check them out here and let us know what you think: http://icanblink.com/index.phtml I wrote a little script to install on Ubuntu when I thought I'd have time to mess with it.
