DESCRIPTION

12       Ekiga  is  a  SIP  and  H.323 VoIP, IP Telephony and Video Conferencing
13       application which complies to the SIP and H.323 protocols. It can  con‐
14       nect to a variety of other SIP and H323 applications including specific
15       hardware. Ekiga can work with or without a webcam, and is able to  cre‐
16       ate  pure  audio  communications  or traditional audio+video communica‐
17       tions. Ekiga  was  formerly  known  as  GnomeMeeting.  Ekiga  has  been
18       designed for the GNOME desktop and therefore uses gconfd-2(1) for stor‐
19       ing its userdata. It offers  to  configure  almost  every  option  from
20       within  the  GUI.  Command-line options include -d to turn on debugging
21       during calls.  -c to call another URL.

ENVIRONMENT

42       On  startup Ekiga reads the system-wide gconf schemas (like every other
43       GNOME2 app should do) from  /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults/apps.   Every
44       modification of the gconf keys using the GUI, gconftool or gconf-editor
45       is reflected in real-time by Ekiga.
