Re: [orca-list] Best application for making and receiving SIP (VoIP) calls?

[Les Smithson <lsmithso57 gmail com>]

There is a linphone cli -
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/linphonecsh.1.html


I've used it in the past with some success. I no longer use linphone
so have no idea if its still a thing or not.
