Linphone is a simple web-phone. It allows you to make two party-calls using an IP network like the internet. What you need to run Linphone is :
Linux
Gnome >=2.4 with gtk+>=2.4, to use the graphical interface (higly recommended!)
a sound card correctly configured enabled by alsa drivers.
headphones or speakers.
a microphone
a connection to a network (the Internet for example), using a modem, an ethernet card or anything.
You should close any application that is using the audio device before running linphone.
Linphone is free, it is released under GNU Public License.
WARNING: This software is provided with NO WARRANTY see file COPYING for details. This means you SHOULD NOT use linphone for confidential conversations: there is NO encryption, so it is easy for any bad-intentionned person to catch audio streams. Note also that it is not recommended to run Linphone as root.
