FWIW the Windows version of Skype is reasonably compatible with the Windows screen readers.  Perhaps the current accessibility problems are not insurmountable?

that's comparing apple's and oranges.
KDE is something different then windows :)
besides it's closed source so we can't even see if it's possibel to add
some accessibility stuff in it which might work with kde-accessibility (if
that's working anyway) or even rewrite the GUI to gtk2

besides, maybe it's spyware as well (like kazaa is) it's based on the same
fasttrack-protocols you know.

Which just serves as evidence of how frequently the issue comes up.

Get your voip service provider to tell you what ports they need, then
just forward those. You shouldn't have to guess at this. This is a
question they probably answer frequently.

first of all, NAT-triversal depends greatly on which VoIP protocol you are
using.
Astiersk' native IAX2 does veryw ell in this case, SIP will probably work
too.

It also depends on the otehr site (the VoIP provider).

http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk general docs
http://www.automated.it/guidetoasterisk.htm some general notes and
config-stuff for www.freeworlddialup.com

Don't be too overwelmed as Asterisk can do too much for what you need :)
look at exten.conf and trhough everything out you don't need.

only thing you need is probably a line saying dial,console (and the
appropriate alsao ro oss config)
and lines to dialout to yoru VoIP-provider (and vociemail if you are
feeling up to it :) ).

Yes, thats right. I decided, to use asterisk, it seems that this is 
exactly what I need. I tryed linphone before, but without success 
because the programm had problems with my firewall setup. The 
configuration of asterisk is really a big torture, I'm searching arround 
the internet and through the docu since friday :-(. Now I subscribed to

There's quite a few blind people using Asterisk.  I'd suggest you hang 
in there with it and get hooked up with other users of the program.  You 
are right though, it's complicated.

Re: VoIP with Linux?

[Ari Moisio]

Hi!

   There is command-line based h.323 and sip client in opal package, see 
called simpleopal. see
http://www.voxgratia.org

   You need  both pwlib  and openyh323 in addtion to  opal.  Simpleopal 
should be compiled separately in opal/samples directory.

   Beware however this package is real nigthmare to set up. Fread FAQ in 
Voxgratia site carefully.

VoIP with Linux?

[Christian Schoepplein]

Hi!

I'm searching for a accessible voice over ip software, that runs on 
linux and contains a softphone with support for SIP.

I allready tryed linphone and asterisk. linphone doesn't work somehow 
and asterisk's configuration causes only pine, no good docu and simply 
to complex for me ;-).

I'm sure, that someone here allready uses VoIP, but witch software are 
you using?
