not that I'm aware of but Skype works on linux.

You could always use gaim, (do a google search for gaim) which in windows terms is pretty much the same thing as trillian.
I don't know if it has it to where you can start an audio conversation but atleast you could
go read up on it and see what functionality it has....

Goodluck

There is another project called gaim-vv, with the aim of implementing audio and video in gaim, I don't know if it works yet.

I recommend Gaim also, though I'm pretty sure it can't handle audio calls. It may end up being added eventually though, who knows? Personally I'd rather they add webcam support first though.

ask the develloper on the forum, if he will consider putting it in

edit:

use java1.5 with mercury => it works much faster en less buggy
