Ekiga 3.2.5 - Video Conferencing And VoIP Software

Wednesday July 8, 2009
The Gnome application Ekiga, version 3.2.5, with full support for the SIP and H.323 protocols has been released. It includes features like call forwarding, call transfer, call hold, instant messaging, and text chat. It uses advanced audio quality (Wideband codecs), including echo cancellation. Besides the capability of making voice and video calls to other computers, it is possible to make calls to regular telephones and receive calls from regular telephones.

Unlike Skype, Ekiga is a Linux native. It is free, released under the GPL license, and can be downloaded from the Ekiga web site.
