Pointers to more information

For a full story on Linux telephony, H323, OpenH323, and related developments, see

http://www.linuxtelephony.org/

A rapidly changing site that's trying to keep up and coordinate developments in Linux telephony. New applications and news daily. Very useful.

Home of OpenH323: ``The OpenH323 project aims to create a full featured, inter-operable, Open Source implementation of the ITU H.323 teleconferencing protocol that can be used by personal developers and commercial users without charge.'' Get Voxilla here.

It seems like it's another Quicknet-sponsored site, with a declared intention of being ``dedicated to the development of high-quality, low-density internet telephony solutions for as many platforms as possible''. Some useful general information.

OpenPhone*CA is a University of Toronto based exploratory project for VoIP; it is now stale, but the collection of links is still instructive, if a bit formal.

OpenH323 Gatekeeper project by Jan Willamowius. ``A Gatekeeper is needed to make internet telephony work with symbolic names (aliases) and telephone numbers instead of IP numbers.''

Multi-OS software-only VoIP package, Open Source.

The `competition'. This site is dedicated to Internet Telephony products, mostly commercial, brand-name, and proprietary-OS based. Some general tutorial information is useful, and it gives you a sense of which way the non-GPL world is going.

Slackware, the distribution with an attitude. Patrick Volkerding puts up images of his latest CDROM releases on this site; download and burn a self-booting CD.
