Hi,

What exactly do you mean by a call generator? I'm not really sure about it, but I found the OpenH323 project while searching around for more info. Are you looking for an audio conferencing application? In that case, you may be more interested in something like Skype.

You might want to take a look at Asterisk (http://www.asterisk.org/). It's a complete Open Source PBX that will run on Linux. I think it can use IPV6 for transport and supports most of the common call protocols.

A BIG plus is that one of the protocols (IAX) is all UDP over a single port - no firewall/masquerade issues!

I havn't used the Asterisk software myself, but they have just released version 1.2.1. Always go for the latest, stable release. That's what the devepolers are working on so questions have a better chance of a prompt reply on the mailing lists and forums. The only reason I havn't installed it: no Skype.

If you just want a quick solution - one machine to another - maybe Skype (binary only!) might do the trick. It needs a GUI and you may have to "sign up" to get it working, but it is known to work.
