I'm currently using Firefly and iaxComm softphones. I've configured my firewall (ZoneAlarm) to prevent these apps from acting as servers. What functions will I be missing? All I require is a facility for making outbound international calls.
Is there a FAQ for this group, or a recommended primer for a VoIP novice?

If you prevent them from acting as servers, it will prevent you from using the programs to work as a two way communication system (phone), as preventing it will block outgoing traffic, and you need the program to be able to send your voice out.

Skype and iaxComm both work OK with server disabled. I haven't tried Firefly yet. Skype has a file transfer feature - I suspect this function will fail if server mode is disallowed.

Firefly is OK, too.
