It works here. That is wierd. Does it work with any other browser ?

so I can not find what is the latest "stable" version of Ekiga, as
according to the ekiga project web site.


The latest stable release is 4.0.1. 3.x is very very very old (4 or 5 years old actually).

In 2013, was, I believe, the last time that I had tried to get Ekiga 
working on this computer.

The version of Ekiga that is installed on this (Debian 6 LTS) computer, 
appears unchanged from when I used it, and, posted messages to this 
list, about it, in 2013.

I had tried Ekiga and Linphone, and could not get either working - I 
believe that the mailing list archives, should show the results. I 
correct that - in having looked through some of my messages posted to 
this list, in 2013, I had got the voice component working, for calls, 
but, not the video component, so, I had not been able to get ekiga 
working for videocalling.

I had been able to get skype working, but microsoft took over skype, 
and, sabotaged it, I believe, last year.

The only videocalling software that I had been able to get working, on 
Linux, was skype v 2.2 beta (the full version umber, is in the list 
archives, in messages that I posted about it, in 2013) which worked well 
enough, and, was relatively good, until microsoft sabotaged it.

Without knowing where ekiga is located (in which country/region), I do 
not know whether applicable laws, would allow for the reverse 
engineering of skype 2.2 beta, so as to get that operational again, or, 
whether the ekiga project people, would be inclined to do that, even if 
it was legal.

But, at present, I do not have access to any operational videocalling 
software, that works on Linux.

We really need to improve things !
