Linphone is a VoIP application for Linux operating system (although it is reported to work also on FreeBSD and OpenBSD). Windows XP is fully supported [1]. It uses the Session Initiation Protocol for communication and is licensed under the GNU General Public License. Linphone uses GTK+ for GUI and on Linux it can be also run as a console-mode application. Of course, even though Linphone is a software tool, in order to use it, you’ll need some basic hardware, such as a headset and a microphone. And if you want to use Linphone as a complete phone system you’ll need an account with a VoIP provider.
Audio codec support: Speex (narrow band and wideband), G.711 (u-law,a-law), GSM, and iLBC (through an optional plugin) Video codec support: H263-1998, MPEG-4, Theora and H.264 (thanks to a plugin based on x264), with resolutions from QCIF(176x144) to SVGA(800x600) provided that network bandwidth and cpu power are sufficient.[2]
