Would like some advice from the Debian VoIP maintainers about sustainable Debian sip server

[Eugen Dedu]

Hi Jelle,

I know ekiga a bit, so here is what ekiga can do (I hope I am not 
wrong).  Feel free to put the same e-mail on ekiga mailing list for 
precise answers.

I think that you need to adapt the software to your specific needs: 
generally, the functionality is there, but you need it in a different 
format (for ex. you want to log calls in a file, but ekiga logs them in 
its window).
