This time I will use a screencast to show you this how-to, this is my first try, so please be gentle if you see that is in poor quality, or if it could have been better edited, I am sure the next ones will start to improve, hope you may find this how-to useful.

Please be sure to read: simple Asterisk configuration to understand the parameters used in this video.

Installing on Debian/Ubuntu

sudo aptitude install ekiga

Installing on Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S ekiga

Installing on Fedora

sudo yum install ekiga
