VRS software for Linux?

Watermelon · 08-28-2009, 05:13 PM

With the upcoming November FCC deadline ( Deadline for VRS and IP Relay Users to Obtain Ten-Digit Numbers Delayed Until November 12, 2009 ), does anyone know about any VRS software that would run on Linux (Fedora, Ubuntu, etc)? Or are Linux users out of luck and would need to boot up into Windows (via native or virtual) and do all the VRS in Windows, with Viable Vision, P3, etc. ?

Mac OSX is not GNU/Linux. Do they looks and act similar...yes. Mac OSX's kernel is Unix based, but noy GNU/Lunix. The Mac OS X kernel is called XNU, which is more closely related to BSD than anything.

Try using Ekiga, It's free.
