For any that didn't know. and in light of questions about who give what 
back, I found this release informative. but also raised questions.

Linspire (lindows) have released PhoneGaim for Lindows, source for other 
OS's and are planning a windows release soon.

PhoneGaim is an extension of the gaim project, which Linspire support 
financially and will be added to the gaim project at their release 
cycle. phonegaim adds sip features into gaim, and allows pc-pc (free) 
and pc-phone calls with apropriate accounts via a sip network.  More 
info at www.phonegaim.com

OK enough media, now question time

We are planning to include this in our (CollegeLinux) 2.6 release, but 
wondered if anyone new of a sip server that linux users can use with sip 
features, having a local sip network could be very helpfull in some 
scenarios, and could effectively make a local PABX.  we are already 
planning a jabber network and jabber extensions on gaim so that users 
can form their own private IM platform, but what about voice IM too.

does anyone know of such a server ? otherwise I'll keep serching.
