Unfortunately, I am not aware of a module supporting this in Kamailio or OpenSIPS. There is the msilo module, but it is limited to "MESSAGE" SIP requests while Ekiga will move to the more modern MSRP.

Unfortunately again, I do not think that Ekiga 5.0 will be a big improvement in that area. We are severely lacking manpower. And while we will support more codecs, a revamped UI using modern libraries, other features like server-side contacts lists, im history and so on will not be implemented now.
