Ekiga.net upgraded 2008-11-11, Damien Sandras

Ekiga.net has been upgraded. We are now running Kamailio (recently renamed toSIP Router due to the merge between Kamailio and the old SIP Express Router)and Asterisk 1.4. Among others, it allows to run the echo test with codecslike H.264.The old WEB interface has been replaced by a more intuitive one thanks toYannick Defais. The look and feel is now similar to the one you can see on thebrother ekiga.org website.I would also like to thank Jan Schampera who helps me daily maintainingekiga.net.You can enjoy to the new infrastructure daily by signing up for an account athttp://www.ekiga.net.
