I've tried internet phones in the past and the biggest
complaint I had was the delay. I can't imagine that
adding yet another hop over the network would provide
acceptable audio even if you get it to work. It would
work fine to have the X GUI display on windows if you
plug your mic and headphones into the Linux sound card,
but I would question if it is worth looking into
moving audio around with such a time critical
application as phones.
What software are you using on Linux? I assume it is
software only and doesn't use any hardware (other than
a standard sound card). I've used gnomemeeting and
was curious if there was something better out there.
