Are they available for Windows? Not everyone uses GNU/Linux, you know - in
fact, most people use Windows.
there are tons of sip compliant clients for Windows
Microsoft Messenger or
what ever its called now is one of them. xten sipX is another. What i was
getting at is there are lots of standards compliant ways to do what skype
does. in a much more friendly way.

i also have it connected to a pstn provider in the US for localish service.
I'm afraid I didn't understand a word of what you said you did. And even if
I did, I don't think it's possible in Latin America, where I live.
Umm i
linked a server in the US into the Phone system in Australia so that
my family can call me for a local call. I.e pick up the phone in there
house and dial me. It costs me about $6 a month and can be done all over
the world. costs will vary.
