JSR released a test version of his Voice over IP client.

Notes:

As it seems difficult for people to share their voip account, he decided to code a little app out of his windows version of DSiP to report the compatibility with various VOIP Servers. There is a configuration file (dsip-config.cfg) where you write 4 parameters about your SIP Account. Here is an exemple (this is not a working account):

SERVER=”sip.dns-hosting.info”
USER=”2233445566″
PASSWORD=”12345″
DOMAIN=”sip2sip.info”

Then launch the program and when prompted, enter the telephone number of the phone you want to call.

Please report what the program print on screen in the comments of this post. If you don’t pass the “2 – Registered” stage, think twice (and even more) before reporting something. Also, if you can report what is your LAN (behind a router,firewall or not…), it would help me also. Please note that this version rely on DNS Resolving so it doesn’t work with IP Address (for the moment).

This is a port of XRally (see http://www.linuxgames.com/xrally)

You control a blue car and collect yellow flags around a maze-like map, while avoiding the red cars. The blue car can use clouds of smoke through the maze. If a enemy touch any of these clouds, it stops for a while. The enemy cars can also crash one with the other, what gives you some extra time.

This game use the X server, which is included in the file and automatically installed (if not present)
