Sorry to answer late.

You can use ekiga with any SIP account.  But I think you cannot call 
500 ekiga net without having registered to an ekiga.net account.

In the attachment you posted, I see that at the beginning of the call to 
500, the server sends a nonce (authorization) key, and it is not used by 
ekiga afterwards.  This could be ekiga fault, I have to check, but right 
now 500 is not working :o(

Furthermore, I do not see any problem with the microphone.  The problem 
is that no connection is established.  Is that right?
