VoIP is so exciting

Back to VoIP testing.

I (re)tested SJPhone 1.65 at home. It is a very good softphone.

But it has a annoying drawback: it can only register to one account at a time. I currently have freephonie.net, VoXaLot (eu), and FreeWorldDialup account. I only can register one !

So, I cannot use my enum number if I am always (almost always) registered through FWD. Too bad.

I tried gtalk, but it cannot send Video (works fine with audio, but my friends tell audio quality is worst than skype).

The solution is a Linux one (but I have not tested it yet): Ekiga. Multiple account registration, video, audio, SIP+H323 ! wonderful. But I do not use Linux at home (FreeBSD or Windows ...)

So, the ultimate solution is an Asterisk SOHO box dedicated to VoIP management.

I received an email (through sip-implementors ML) which announce pingtel opens a new SIP testing PBX gateway. Good thing. Not only for SIP implementors, but also for Security developer who needs to check that their control are not too rigorous. Good initiative.
