I was thinking, for the students machines your could run the command line program linphonec in auto answer mode ( linphonec -a ). When a teacher calls one of the thin clients, the student would automatically hear and be able to speak to the teacher and not have to worry about dealing with a softphone. You could probably do that as well with freeswitch running as a client on each thin client, but linphoncc does this very well today.

Curious - what kinds of SIP phones do the clients support? Have you decided what you'd be using? -MC
I am still experimenting! I have a zoiper 2.0 installed on one of my test clients. zoiper seems to work fine, so now I am attempting to get the freeswitch/zoiper interface working. I will also try to get an ekiga working, but first the zoiper. First I have to figure out how to get freeswitch operational and will be working on that tonight! Regards, Murrah Boswell

Hello All,
I am an absolute newbee in the voip world but have a project where I believe freeswitch will work and need very, very basic guidance on how to setup a testbed in a thin client environment.
I am using K12LTSP 5EL (Centos5) for my terminal server/host testbed and utilize fl_teachertool 0.07 to monitor the connected terminal clients (TCs). If you are not familiar with fl_teachertool, it allows a teacher to view thumbnail images of each TC logged in to the server. The teacher can click on any thumbnail and enlarge the view, monitor all applications running on a given TC, and take control of the keyboard and mouse of the TC. These are just a few of the capabilities of fl_teachertool.
What I want to do is allow the teacher to establish voice communication using headsets and microphones with any one of the TCs by making a "phone" call via ethernet based upon ip of the TC through freeswitch using a softphone.
Does this sound like something that is possible using freeswitch? If so, could someone please give me very basic instructions on how to setup this proof of concept? If I can just get a "teacher" stationed at my server talking to one "student" at a TC, I believe I can go from there. Currently I have a voiper softphone that functions, I believe, under gnome, but I have no idea how to configure the voiper to initiate calls through freeswitch or how to configure freeswitch to route the call to one of my TCs.
I also need to keep this system fully self contained. That is, I can not have a requirement to use an outside sip service provider.
Also, I would use any other linux sip softphones known to work with freeswitch that people feel would work better than a voiper. voiper seems to be more windows and mac based. I would really like to use an ekiga since they seem to be more linux based, but I do not believe that they have been thoroughly tested with freeswitch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Regards, Murrah Boswell
