What have you found non-functional about the betas?

Is there some reason why you can't use Ekiga?   It comes in a nice, easy to
install RPM (unlike skype which only has RPMs for FC3 and FC4 or
tarballs).   Also, as Rahul has pointed out, the aoss stuff is available if
you really need it.

But why go through the pain?   Is it because the people you want to talk to
will only run Skype?
