also, i guess the SIP in SIPphone stands for the SIP protocol, so the
sipphone software can be used to call other SIP devices, software like
kphone (not gnomemeeting unfortunately, gnomemeeting is H.323), windows
messenger, ... also, there are companies offering SIP->PSTN relay (so you
can call all phones if you are willing to pay a relay ISP, often cheaper
than a real PSTN call). also check FWD, an attempt to create a new free
telephone network.

so i think the author is wrong in his statement that SIPphone is only
useful to call other lindows users or SIPphone hardware owners. Or is it
an artificial limitation introduced by lindows ?
