Thus my question. The web page states this: ========================================================================= This feature enables an entirely free software alternative to Skype using standard IETF protocols along with support for direct peer-to-peer secure communications such as possible with ZRTP capable softphones and without need for a mitigating "service provider" ========================================================================= Is SIP Witch a Skype server ? Ie can Skype phones connect to it and then it makes a SIP connection on there behalf ? Or do they mean it replaces Skype as a way to make a call using VOIP ? I'm confused as to what it does and I can't really find doc on it that explains things at that level. "GNU SIP Witch also is being introduced as a desktop VoIP mediation service to enable the construction of participatory bottom-up secure calling networks and to enable replacement of Skype with free software and published protocols." http://www.gnutelephony.org/index.php/GNU_Telephony Does this mean I can be my own SIP provider ? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
