what are current recommendations for a soft sip phone ?
I'm a fan of linphone. It's just worked in all the configurations I've tried. My last ubuntu update included a package called Ekiga, which looks to be even simpler to use, but I haven't had a chance to stretch its legs yet.
If you trawl through the depths of the "ubuntu/debian" thread from a few days ago you'll come across people talking about their experience with a few different soft phones.
And, if you're looking for a Windows client, then X-Lite is pretty good, despite its nasty interface. They have a Linux client as well, but I'm not sure I'd bother when there's a wealth of prettier and more environmentally sound FOSS packages.
any Sipura 3000 users ?: should I be looking at Asterisk ? Asterisk at home ? to run with Sipura ?
I've got a Sipura 3000 on my test bench, and am running a Sipura 2000 at home. I've noticed the 2000 can take a *very* long time (read: hours) to re-register if your internet connection drops out, which may just be a configuration issue or even a dodgy VoIP provider (I work for a VoIP provider - I'm allowed to be snobbish about the others ;-). But other than that they're fairly reliable little units. And yeah, I've had it registering and passing traffic through Asterisk without any problems.
As far as Asterisk vs. [EMAIL PROTECTED], they're both exactly the same under the hood. I'd go with [EMAIL PROTECTED], just for the easier to manage interface. Either way, I can highly recommend getting your hands on a copy of the O'Reilly book on Asterisk. It's a pretty good reference, and it's been released under a creative commons licence - google will find you a PDF.
