[JDEV] iChat AV

[Ulrich B. Staudinger]

Hi Tim,

well. GreenThumb has dupley voice support already. We have done a proper 
voice connection between two windows machines. On Linux we have a 
problem with the Java virtual machine. the linux jvm only supports half 
duplex by itself. One of the forthcoming releases will hopefully fix this.
We had no chance to test GreenThumb between two macs, so if you want to 
volunteer, grab greenthumb at http://greenthumb.jabberstudio.org/e4.jar 
and try to do a voice call to another jid (full jid, incl. resource, 
e.g. a at b.c/d) after accepting or setting your ip and drop a line if it 
works.
gt uses port 10000 for transmitting gsm data.
best of luck
