Hey folks --
I am going to be working remotely for a while and I am looking into my
options for making PC-to-PC "calls" over the internet on my t40. Two
questions:
I would like to get a headset of some kind. What works well with the
t40? Would a bluetooth headset work well?
There is a dizzying array of software projects that provide the
voice-over-IP functionality, but none of them seem particularly easy to
setup and use. Some candidates are:
- Speak Freely (http://www.fourmilab.ch/speakfree/)
The main developer of this one seems to be abandoning the project
in 2004.
- Gone-o-Phone (http://gphone.sourceforge.net/)
The last release of this was over a year ago
- OpenH323 (http://www.openh323.org/)
Not sure if this is actual software to make calls or just
a codec...
I am looking for something easy to use that works cross platform
(linux/windows/os x). Does anyone have any suggestions?
cheers,
-steve
