It depends on the IP phone in question. Ekiga should be able to
receive calls over LAN without any PBX. The question is whether the IP
phone can make a call to an arbitrary phone. If it can, just dial the
IP of the box running Ekiga. Otherwise you'll need a PBX or some kind
of SIP proxy (like OpenSER or variants of it) and have both Ekiga and
IP phone registered to the proxy/PBX. Then you can call Ekiga by
dialling the extension number assigned to Ekiga.
