Take a look at phonegaim (http://www.phonegaim.com/)....it is available 
for linspire (linodws) as a compiled package, or as src code for the 
rest of us I haven't yet been able to get it to compile. It uses the 
GAIM messaging client with a SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) client 
built in for voice. It is spoken very highly by the guys at 
www.sipphone.com
