First I installed Kphone 4.2 from the http://xnv4.xandros.com/xs2.0/upkg-srv2 etch repository. I chose this as being a KDE based application it did not need to install a load of libraries (unlike Ekiga) and would have a light footprint.
Second I setup with my Sipgate account. Recognised immediately and test calls to the speaking clock number gave those reassuring tones through the internal speakers.
Third I plugged in my USB VOIP Phone (Yamamoto but appears under a variety of labels). Sadly the sound refused to reroute through the phone. A little googling turned up this link http://forums.xandros.com/viewtopic.php?t=24870 which gave me the clue. Ignoring the Control Centre instructions - all I needed to do was in Kphone change the Audio Preferences to OSS and in the empty box put in the device which for me was /dev/dsp1.
Now the phone is a phone and I freed from the horrific roaming costs when travelling abroad with my eeepc as long as I can find a wifi connection. Usually quite legally at a rapidly increasing number of cafe/bars

Hello!
Brainsys, could you post more details on the first part? I'm triying to set my voip account wich uses sip (voipbuster.com), and kphone did not work for me. Now I'm figthing with sound devices on wengophone 2.2 (the standar 2.1.2 had no output sound devices for my 4Gsurf eee).
The reason for this interest over the preinstalled skype is on the fact that voipbuster (and many companys with the exact same profile) does not charge for landline phone calls to usa or spain or...
Asus had to put at least kphone setted and configured for advanced mode

I've been playing with voip myself (just using a headset).
I could hear the other side quite well but my speech was always very sloooow and with lots of delay. No idea what caused that.
I tried all kind of things (with/without stun), differnent software (ekiga, sjphone and some more), but all to no avail.
Then again my linksys ata and voipbuster under XP work like a charm (and I seem to recall having tried sjphone under ubuntu on my desktop as well without problems).
Will try to use kphone again.
