ot: VOIP

[Tyler Spivey]

I've been trying to figure this out for a while. I want to talk to a
friend via voip, but I'm behind a firewall, so speak freely's out. I
can't get asterisk going with fwd as a softphone, and it has some
problems - the sound buffers quite a bit for some reason. Our current
solution (involving speexenc, speexdec, ssh and pipes) is horibly laggy.
Anyone have any solutions for sip user agents or softphones, or other
ways of communication through voip?
Thanks,
Tyler
