    I found that Ekiga was already installed in this F-12, originally
    installed from the Omega F12 Live CD, and yes upon starting it it
    guides you through configuration and obtaining an outgoing telephone
    connection [for ten Dollars]. I did all this, an involved process
    but doable. It doesn't work, it acts as though it may be connecting
    to the "echo test" site but there is no audio to indicate that it is
    functioning, just a little call completed at the bottom.

    I would expect it should work since it was included with this
    version of Fedora. The other VOIP applications I have tried worked
    without much effort once installed. Strange!

    Obviously I have something wrong. Does anyone else have this
    working? Have any idea what I should do next?
