[Freeswitch-users] Newbee: Need Help Thin Client Environment

[Dan]

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.

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!
