Just to chim in I mean no disrespect to the author of cornfed as it looks like a really good sip phone. However I stopped once I only saw rpms available. I'm on ubuntu and I know I could convert rpms, but I really like to avoid that. So I've been trying a few others which are pretty good as well. twinklephone for kde is good (twinklephone.com) and so is linphone. Also you can have sip functionality now with gnomemeeting by using the cvs. The cool thing is they offer cvs binaries for just about every debian distro and rpms as well. I wish more cutting edge software did this. Also they are not just binaries for deb but proper sources so you can apt-get cvs updates which are pretty much daily.

I wish more software did this for checking out the latest stuff.
