[Ekiga-list] Is it possible to show/replicate Address Book addresses to more than one computer?

Hi there

I have been using Skype for a couple of years, reluctantly because it uses a proprietary protocol, but a number of friends already used it and I didn't mind supporting a company that got their act together.

Since Microsoft bought Skype, I now consider it necessary to stop using it, so I spent some time yesterday working out the details for SIP. I use Ubuntu.

I use Ekiga on two computers, and both copies of Ekiga are  installed and registered correctly for both free and paid calls - I registered with Ekiga's preferred supplier and now have credit with sip.diamondcard.us.

I have installed telnaSIP on my mobile phone (after some trial and error with some other applications) and it CAN have two different user accounts, as I need, and it is registered correctly for both free and paid calls.

What I'm not sure about is whether a contact I set up on one account (say, my desktop computer) is then available on my netbook computer, and even more so, on my mobile phone. I have tried opening the Address Book on my netbook and then searching by name for my Auntie Blanche (an Ekiga Call Out number), without success.

1. How can I make a contact available on more than one computer, without creating that contact on each computer?

2. Does my ekiga.net account include my contact addresses, such that my contacts would then be available on telnaSIP?
