Hi,

It is always good for us to know our software gives good results. Thank
you for the feedback.

At the moment we are testing a patch which should improve connectivity
when Ekiga is behind a NAT (technicaly it fix STUN support to the RTP
streams -i.e. the audio and video streams-)

You can find it for Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic here:
https://launchpad.net/~sevmek/+archive/ppa
(it is Ekiga 3.2.6+the patch)

I will most probably build it for Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 and the incoming
Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 in 1 week or 2.

Reports about this patch are positives for now. It is includuded in the
dev branch of OPAL, and if the testing continue to give good results it
will most likely be included in the next Ekiga release.

The patch itself is small, apply only to OPAL and is binary compatible
with Ekiga 3.2.6, which means you can patch OPAL yourself if you have
Ekiga 3.2.6 already and it should work with just patching/rebuilding
OPAL.

Best regards,
Yannick
