A few days ago, Cesar V via HWKB.com posted a thread announcing the launch of the new Kapanga softphone. I thought it would be interesting/helpful to post a larger list of softphones/services for comparison. What makes it even better is that all of the software and services listed here are free:
**encrypted, open source, and point to point** Speak Freely Robust Audio Tool Any secure tunneling method
**encrypted and point to point** Secure Phone Lite Foopchat Secure Shuttle Transport Gaim Skype
**open source and point to point** I Hear U CPhone KPhone LinPhone SipXPhone Gnome-O-Phone VOCAL
**point to point** SJPhone X-Lite EZ-Phone PC-Telephone Firefly CDC32 LIPZ4 XtX INRIA Free Phone
**service provider solutions** MS NetMeeting MSN IM AIM iVisit Lite PalTalk
