Just had a cry for help in setting up a teleconferencing system for a small group of FOSS developers. The proposed solution is to use a specialist service provider based on conventional telephony equipment - This works fine as long as it uses local rate calls, but I would need to dial a US number.. IRC would be my favoured choice, but it has been ruled out as some people have an aversion to the keyboard. This leaves voice-over-internet (VoIP ?), an area I have no experience of. Looking at www.linphone.org, it would appear that it would only support a one-to-one connection. On the other hand, it may provide a solution to the problem of long distance calls...
Question: Are there any compatable software packages that will run on linux and microsoft platforms ?

How about http://www.webex.com?
Failing that, the JavaSound APIs would enable such a thing to be done quite readily. As you no doubt noted on Thursday there are one or two such programmers in this group.
