I haven't used them with mynetfone.com.au, but I have used them with Sipphone, Gizmo, Free World Dialup and several others that I don't now remember. I have never had any luck with linphone. Kphone (last time I used it) didn't handle DTMF tones. Wengophone is OK. Ekiga is the king of them all. It allows registration with multiple servers and I have found it very reliable. I use it with an iMic usb sound card. Ekiga is also particularly good at maintaining STUN connections with no drama. Should mention Xten: it's not free (as in speech) software, but it also allows multiple registrations and seems to work well. Ugly interface on Linux though. I haven't got a videocam, so can't comment on Ekiga's video functions.
