VOIP on LAN
 

My company has asked me to implement a VOIP solution for internal use (only within the company WAN). Feature wish-list are as follows:

1. voice conference for upto 10 persons at a time
2. video conference (optional)
3. should support connection from PC/laptop (no hardware phone would be used)
4. user accounts should reside on the server so that anyone can just log in and call anyone else (just like Skype)

Is there any Linux solution?

Probably your best bet is try asterisk
http://www.asterisk.org/

HTH

Thanks...had already went through that site though.

Fair enough...I personally rate Asterisk, having deployed it on a real network. I have no other practical knowledge of Open Source PABXs, but googling "linux pabx" gave me pages of hits....in which http://sipx-wiki.calivia.com/index.php/Main_Page looks good...I may try it myself...BTW what was it about Asterisk that didn't meet your needs?

Good Luck

Well, finally managed to get Asterisk deployed!

Anyway, I will try sipX as I am still in the R&D stage. Thanks.

BTW, can you please recommend any softphone (preferably open source and runs on Windows) that can handle conferencing up to 6 persons at a time? I found some from this page though: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_SIP_software

TIA.
