Any SIP client for voice talks. Check out this page 
for other functionalities:
http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Which_programs_work_with_Ekiga_%3F#Mac_OS
Also note that (as far as I know) Ekiga for Windows
is still beta. 

Based on my experiences, Ekiga is a great piece of
software but it is not prepared to replace Skype/
Yahoo Mess on a larger scale mainly due to NAT issues, 
poor non-Linux platform support + some long-term 
video and presence related problems.
