Hi Sam!

Thanks - I'd been waiting to see the results although I not so sure
about your prob with only being able to call people on the same SIP
service as I know that I have made SIP calls with Linphone in the past
to someone using a SIP account with a different provider, although
they were using linphone too (but under Windows IIRC).

I've still yet to try Pidgin for vid conf yet but its on my todo list.
Can anyone confirm you can vid call someone using Gmail from Pidgin
without the pidgin user having to have Googles non-free talk plugin
installed?

I don't think any of the voip clients support JACK which is a shame.
