Carlos, i' already working on the gui design for version 3.0, if you send me your comments ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) on what you dislike in ours or like in other phones, i will certainly have a look at your comments to make it better.

Yes, I agree, this is a darn good free SIP client with a few features such as recording, playing WAV files (good for podcasting, or if you want to irritate people you call with laugh tracks or something). I don't find it better than X-Lite, but about the same. If I had to choose one client, it would probably be Zoiper, because it does SIP and IAX well (or at least I've had good results with it). Zoiper also has a very small footprint on the GUI. /r ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

When they originally launched SIPphone, they licensed the X-Pro phone from X-ten, but the Gizmo Project softphone has always been a completely different beast. Later versions include the ability to sign up for one other service provider AS WELL AS Gizmo Project/SIPphone, however I don't believe you can ONLY use it through another provider, and GP does some odd things with the Contact header that are... nonstandard. When REGISTERING with another provider, it uses a Contact header with a GP username/ip, requiring that all calls be initially routed back through GP's servers. They say this is for logging purposes, but it certainly makes for an ugly data path. We actually had to reconfigure our servers just to allow for the GP users who would occasionally register directly.

All calls go though the Gizmo proxy including calls to/from your secondary account, an extension from my asterisk box in my case. I keep it free by not making any outgoing calls using Gizmo minutes by selecting my asterisk box as the default outbound route, and using my own DID which rings on two * extensions simultaneously so I can pick up the call on a regular handset or on the laptop. I could use any softphone for this functionality in conjunction with asterisk but I like their interface better than the other's I've tried including X- Lite, idefisk, etc. Info on using asterisk for this is at http://www.gizmoproject.com/asterisk.html (The phone itself is based on xten's phone, IIRC, and is thus certinly non-free) It's free to Gizmo subscribers whether they are paying subscribers or not. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[asterisk-users] Gizmo revisited
Launched the OS X version of Gizmo after about a year of inactivity, downloaded the update and discovered the new improved Giszmo features Asterisk interoperability by allowing a secondary SIP account to be registered simultaneously. It also allows you to make the routing choice for outgoing calls; your own server or via Gizmo. So far, this is the best SIP softphone I've come across for OS X. It comes in other flavors and I thought I'd mention it as it can be free and I haven't seen it mentioned recently. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
