SpeakFreelySpeak Freely is a 100% free Internet telephone originally written in 1991 by John Walker, founder of Autodesk. After April of 1996, he discontinued development on the program. Since then, several other Internet "telephones" have cropped up all over the world. However, most of these programs cost money. Most of them have poor sound quality, and don't support Speak Freely's basic features such as encryption, the answering machine, or selectable compression.
GspeakfreelyGspeakfreely is a VoIP system with a flexible component system. It implements a set of audio processing components which can be connected to each other or mixed together. The most important components are net in/output, which implement VoIP functionality and the OSS-DSP in/output component.
Additionally there is a ISDN in/output component that allows making actual phone connections, and a file input component that can also play Internet radio streams. Also included is a fading plug-in, that can for example fade incoming calls into your music. New components can be developed for specific purposes, and combined with existing ones.
The net in/output components also have conference support. The net input component can mix incoming audio data from different hosts.
linphonelinphone is a SIP webphone with support for several different codecs, including speex.
Linphone is a web phone: it let you phone to your friends anywhere in the whole world, freely, simply by using the internet. The cost of the phone call is the cost that you spend connected to the internet.
linphone features include:
- Works with the Gnome Desktop under Linux, (maybe others Unixes as well, but this has never been tested). Nevertheless you can use linphone under KDE, of course!
- Since version 0.9.0, linphone can be compiled and used without gnome, in console mode, by using the program called "linphonec"
- Works as simply as a cellular phone. Two buttons, no more.
- Linphones includes a large variety of codecs (G711-ulaw, G711-alaw, LPC10-15, GSM, and SPEEX). Thanks to the Speex codec it is able to provide high quality talks even with slow internet connections, like 28k modems.
- Understands the SIP protocol. SIP is a standardised protocol from the IETF, that is the organisation that made most of the protocols used in the Internet. This guaranties compatibility with most SIP - compatible web phones.
- You just require a soundcard to use linphone.
- Other technical functionalities include DTMF (dial tones) support though RFC2833 and ENUM support (to use SIP numbers instead of SIP addresses).
- Linphone is free software, released under the General Public Licence.
- Linphone is documented: there is a complete user manual readable from the application that explains you all you need to know.
- Linphone includes a sip test server called "sipomatic" that automatically answers to calls by playing a pre-recorded message.

Free VoIP Gatewaysisdnh323isdn2h323 is a Linux based H.323 - ISDN gateway. At the moment the gateway supports the following features:
- ISDN and H.323 users can initiate a connection.
- The number of simultaneous incoming and outgoing calls is limited by the number of available ISDN channels only.
- H.323 users can specify the ISDN number of the other party.
- The gateway's administrator can assign an ISDN MSN to a H.323 user. This makes it possible for an ISDN user to call a H.323 user directly. The gateway will choose the H.323 user id depending on the called ISDN MSN.
- The gateway discovers an available H.323 gatekeeper and registers with the gatekeeper. It's possible to specify one or more phone prefixes the gateway is responsible for.
- ISDN's touch-tones (DTMF) are translated to H.323's user input messages and vice versa.
- Automatic gain control (AGC)
- Automatic echo compensation (AEC)
- To avoid security problems the gateway offers an option to restrict the IPs allowed to use the gateway for an outgoing ISDN call.
- The status of the lines and the configuration of the gateway are written to a HTML file.
- Errors and other information are logged using Linux's syslog() feature.
- Three H.323 codecs are supported: ALaw, muLaw, and GSM.
- Least Cost Router

Free VoIP ProxiesPartysipPartysip is a SIP proxy server. It is a plugin oriented program with registration, authentication and routing capabilities.
Partysip is a modular application where capabilities are added and removed through plugins. The program comes with several GPL plugins. At this step, partysip and its plugins could be used as a 'SIP registrar', a 'SIP redirect server' and a 'SIP stateful proxy server'.
siproxd - SIP proxy/masquerading daemonSiproxd is a proxy/masquerading daemon for the SIP protocol. It handles registrations of SIP clients on a private IP network and performs rewriting of the SIP message bodies to make SIP connections possible via an masquerading firewall. It allows SIP clients (like kphone, linphone) to work behind an IP masquerading firewall or router.
SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) is used by Softphones (Voice over IP) to initiate communication. By itself, SIP does not work via masquerading firewalls as the transfered data contains IP addresses and port numbers.
Load Balancer ProxyThe Load Balancer is a very simple proxy that is useful in SIP-based VoIP installations where there are multiple ingress proxy servers. The Load Balancer permits pooling these servers, thereby eliminating the need to balance user demands for connectivity through a complicated provisioning algorithm.
All users can send their INVITEs and REGISTERs to the same SIP URI and the Load Balancer will assign ingress proxy servers dynamically to each transaction. In this way, the traffic load is balanced over a pool of proxy servers based on the real-time demand for services.
STUN ServerThe STUN (Simple Traversal of UDP through NATs (Network Address Translation)) server is an implementation of the STUN protocol that enables STUN functionality in SIP-based systems. The STUN server tar ball also include a client API to enable STUN functionality in SIP endpoints. In addition there is a command line UNIX client and a graphical windows client that check what type of NAT the user is using.
STUN is an application-layer protocol that can determine the public IP and nature of a NAT device that sits between the STUN client and STUN server.
The current version of the code supports most of RFC 3489 except the ability to get OTPs from the server.

PJSIPPJSIP is an open source SIP stack supporting many SIP extensions/features, with the following key benefits:
Extremely portable Write the application once, and it would run on many many platforms (all Windows flavors, Windows Mobile, Linux, all Unix flavors, MacOS X, RTEMS, Symbian OS, etc.)
Very small footprint With less than 150KB for complete SIP features, PJSIP is ideal not only for embedded development where space is costly but also for general applications where smaller size means shorter download time for users.
High performance ...which means less CPU power requirement and more SIP transactions/calls can be handled per second.
Many features Many SIP features/extensions such as multiple usages in dialog, event subscription framework, presence, instant messaging, call transfer, etc. have been implemented in the library.
Extensive SIP documentation There can never be enough documentation, so we try to provide fellow developers with hundreds of pages worth of documentation.
PJSIP also features extensions, such as:
PJMEDIA PJMEDIA is a complementary library for PJSIP to build a complete, full-featured SIP user agent applications such as softphones/hardphones, gateways, or B2BUA.
PJLIB-UTIL PJLIB-UTIL is an auxiliary library providing supports for PJMEDIA and PJSIP. Some of the functions/components in this library: small footprint XML parsing, STUN client library, asynchronous/caching DNS resolver, hashing/encryption functions, etc.
PJLIB A small footprint, high performance, ultra portable abstraction library and framework, used by PJSIP and PJMEDIA.
PJLIB is about the only library that PJLIB-UTIL, PJMEDIA, and PJSIP should depend, as it provides complete abstraction not only to Operating System dependent features, but it is also designed to abstract LIBC and provides some useful data structures too.

Free VoIP PBX SoftwareAsteriskAsterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on Linux and provides all of the features you would expect from a PBX and more. Asterisk does voice over IP in three protocols, and can interoperate with almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively inexpensive hardware.
Asterisk provides Voicemail services with Directory, Call Conferencing, Interactive Voice Response, Call Queuing. It has support for three-way calling, caller ID services, ADSI, SIP and H.323 (as both client and gateway).
Asterisk needs no additional hardware for Voice over IP. For interconnection with digital and analog telephony equipment, Asterisk supports a number of hardware devices, most notably all of the hardware manufactured by Asterisk's sponsors, Digium. Digium has single and quad span T1 and E1 interfaces for interconnection to PRI lines and channel banks as well as a single port FXO card and a one to four-port modular FXS and FXO card.
Also supported are the Internet Line Jack and Internet Phone Jack products from Quicknet.
Asterisk supports a wide range of TDM protocols for the handling and transmission of voice over traditional telephony interfaces. Asterisk supports US and European standard signaling types used in standard business phone systems, allowing it to bridge between next generation voice-data integrated networks and existing infrastructure. Asterisk not only supports traditional phone equipment, it enhances them with additional capabilities.
Using the Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX) Voice over IP protocol, Asterisk merges voice and data traffic seamlessly across disparate networks. While using Packet Voice, it is possible to send data such as URL information and images in-line with voice traffic, allowing advanced integration of information.
Asterisk provides a central switching core, with four APIs for modular loading of telephony applications, hardware interfaces, file format handling, and codecs. It allows for transparent switching between all supported interfaces, allowing it to tie together a diverse mixture of telephony systems into a single switching network.
Asterisk is primarily developed on GNU/Linux for x/86. It is known to compile and run on GNU/Linux for PPC along with OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X Jaguar. Other platforms and standards based UNIX-like operating systems should be reasonably easy to port for anyone with the time and requisite skill to do so. Asterisk is available in the testing and unstable Debian archives, maintained thanks to Mark Purcell.
