Using Voice over IP
Linphone is a small Web phone application for your Linux desktop. It allows you to
make two-party calls over the Internet. There is no need for special hardware items: a
standard workstation with a properly configured sound card, microphone, and speakers
or headphones is all you need to get started with Linphone.
8.1 Configuring Linphone
Before you start using Linphone there are some basic decisions to make and some
configuration tasks to complete. First, determine and configure the run mode of Lin-
phone, determine the connection type to use, then start the Linphone configuration (Go
→ Preferences) to make the necessary adjustments.
8.1.1 Determining the Run Mode of
Linphone
Linphone can be run in two different different modes, depending on the type of desktop
you run and on its configuration.
Normal Application
After the Linphone software has been installed, it can be started via the GNOME
and KDE application menus or via the command line. When Linphone is not run-
ning, incoming calls cannot be received.
