[Preston] F/OSS VoIP?

[Guy Heatley]

Hi Matt!
I too have been searching for such a thing. The closest I have come to
this so far is Gizmo:
http://www.gizmoproject.com/
But sadly, it doesn't appear to be (as far as I can tell) F/OSS. They
do release DEB packages though.
I haven't actually tried this software - because it wasn't free.
:-(
