We run FreeSWITCH for linking up to INOC-DBA, SIPBroker, IAXTel, ISN (ITAD Subscriber Numbers), ENUM and Google Talk. The FreeSWITCH provides voicemail, conferencing, echo latency test and of course the screaming monkeys and the weasels that take over your PBX. Thanks must go to all the FreeSWITCH developers as it supports IPv6, SCTP and ZRTP out of the box.

There are several clients connected using it, amongst others:

VoIP Clients

At home.ch I have a Siemens Gigaset S685 IP with two handsets. At home.nl a Siemens Gigaset S450 IP and a Siemens Gigaset S675 IP do their work, these are perfect phones which does way too much and is still quite affordable and comes in a stylish design.

As a laptop-client (Windows) I am currently using Phonerlite which I picked after having tried out a couple of softphone clients and this being the one that worked properly: settings are clear, dialing and Caller-ID worked, audio configuration has a nice wizard, audio is perfect and clear. Most of the other softphones I tested usually didn't work at all, broke standards, crashed or had cracky audio. It supports IPv6 and TLS/SRTP thus what more do you want ;)

For a client with video capabilities check Voice Sistem SRL's excellent SIP and Windows Messenger tutorial document. A client which works pretty well on Linux is Twinkle.
