Download QuteCom 2.2 RC3 – Free VoIP SoftPhone
Formerly known as WengoPhone , QuteCom softphone is an open-source, multi-platform VoIP client that uses the open protocol SIP – – Session Initiation Protocol.
Whilst the GUI is built on Qt 4.4.0 – – QuteCom looks and feels like Gizmo5 or Skype, the Vclasseo-over-IP is based on Ffmpeg’s libavcodec. QuteCom IM is backed by libpurple 2.5.1; the core engine behind the Pclassgin IM client.
Qutecom RC3 comes with the following improvements;
* Mac build fixes
* 64-bit build fixes
* libpurple related bug fixes
* fixes for plugin codec functionality
* fixes to codec negotiations (now able to work with ILBC in 30ms or 20ms modes)
* ilbc codec moved to plugin
* fixes to handle audio frames with smaller than expected sizes
* conf call fixes
* duplicate account bug fixes

Ekiga the in-built Gnome softphone remains my favourite, nonetheless, it is a bit buggy and should be improved

I do it all with GizMo5.. both the software and the SIP provider, I tried but did not like the Wengo Sip

I actually figured out the answer to my question above (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUZOQsNo_ws), but after doing an apt-get update, I still can’t find qutecom package. What could I be doing wrong?

@ IRHA: Well after authenticating the PPA with the key, do
sudo apt-get install qutecom from the command-line. after that you can do
sudo apt-get update. Now you’ll find Qutecom at
Applications -> Internet -> QuteCom

Hi,
first of all I want to thank you for the mini-tutorial, but, is it possible to use this in Debian Lenny?
I tried it, but I get the following errors in the command line:
Problems with dependencies:
qutecom: Depends: libavcodec1d (>= 0.cvs20070307), but it’s not instalable
Depends: libavutil1d (>= 0.cvs20070307) but it’s not instalable
Depends: libgnutls13 (>= 2.0.4-0) but it’s not instalable
Depends: libswscale1d (>= 0.cvs20070307) but it’s not instalable
The point is that I have these libraries, however they’are in more modern versions. I don’t Know what to do, please help, and thank you again.

@PACO: Hi, I’ve been looking into it, I’m not sure you can get it up and running on Debian Lenny. Try X-lite or Asterisk
