Gilles Gravier's rants about things in general... security, open source, privacy, java, music... in particular.
My first conference call with OpenSolaris's VoIP application!
Today I was scheduled to be on a conference call. I decided to be a geek and try Ekiga on OpenSolaris. It ships by default. Well, you have to install it from the default repository. It's just not called Ekiga, but Video Conference...
I started it. Gave it my Ekiga and FreePhonie account details (FreePhonie comes from my ISP and gives me SIP telephony for free to land lines all over Europe and other major countries around the planet). Once the details entered, I dialed the toll free number form Ekiga and voila!
Speaker sound was perfect. Microphone sucks on my Toshiba Tecra M2. Next time I'll test the fancy Logitech USB headset!
I love it when "technology-just-works"!
