One of the things that really makes Skype popular in my organization is the
video capability. Our missionary care guys find great value in the
non-verbal communication picked up over the video. Which SIP clients support
this in a simplified way? The best alternative I have so far is Google Talk
for that and it comes with other challenges, but is beginning to be
sufficiently robust when paired with Google Voice (except for the
international limitations).
