A FOSS alternative would appear to be PhoneGAIM (www.phonegaim.com) which adds VoIP functionality to GAIM, and is sponsored by Michael Robertson/Lin[dows|spire]
A FOSS alternative is nice, however in the case of this wonderfully disruptive technology I feel it is better to go with the system which has the largest mindshare and "market momentum". Just watched: http://www.alwayson-network.com/events/index.php#0713 with the interview with Michael Powell (FCC Chairman) where he reiterates his comments about Skype
"If you're a big incumbent and you've sort of enjoyed a competitive advantage . . . you, in my opinion, ought to be terrified."
"I think it's going to be the very, very best and biggest breakthrough in our ambitions and dreams about competition ever."
Does PhoneGAIM encrypt it's calls? I bet GCHQ, NSA and the other Echelon participants are not impressed at the prospect, which on that basis alone recommends it to me.
Cheers Julian
