There really isn't anything out there. &nbsp;Skype and Gtalk are closed system (VoIP wise)... but you can put in something like a Acme Border Controller and cross boundries... acmepacket.com<br />
You could call a good integrator like Dimension Data who really is leading the pack at these types of things... dimensiondata.com<br />
Cheers.<br />

Ok that means the integrating with these market leaders is costly and difficult..<br />
<br />
But how about web phones we could use that is embedded into a piece of web page..<br />
<br />
Also is this voip client i mentioned - SJ Softphone is best to use.. Are there any suggestions from you..<br />
<br />
THe whole idea is make users around the world easily access our voice services with real ease..<br />
<br />
We dont want them to download another software which many ppl are reluctant to do<br />
<br />
Thanks

<div>
Actually our voip system is from ASterix Digital...It runs on a linux box...<br />
<br />
Your idea of doing things via a web browser is the most favoured...<br />
And whatever the interface we provide it has to have a dial pad to interact with our IVR system..<br />
<br />
Even if have our server side voip equipment do we need to have pay someone to set this up..<br />
In the trial phase we use SJSoft phone to use the system.. This things works great..<br />
<br />
Only obstacle is that we dont wont to ask people to download a strange piece of software .. People arent just going to this as it involves another extra step...hence web is the best if integrating with these proprietary (SKYPE/GTALK) clients..<br />
<br />
Cheeers

<div>
goign to close this as i will not spend much time with this now... will get back if needed later

Just announced the other day, &nbsp;Skype is going to offer services via SIP which is more or less the standard for voip. &nbsp;This may be what happened to the Skype for Asterisk project. &nbsp;After all why not become interoperable with any PBX supporting SIP traffic.<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
We have a voip server in our company...<br />
<br />
Currently we have to use SJ Labs's soft phone to connect to the server and interact...<br />
<br />
This is such a pain to request people to download this and dial this and that to talk..<br />
<br />
Is there a way to easily enable the users to use Skype or Gtalk or other popular IMs to interact with our voip server...<br />
<br />
Also is there a way to use web page / applications to talk to the voip server.. this is the ideal thing to be done if possible..<br />
<br />
Or am i thinking beyond what the technology world has to offer...

Integrating Skype, Gtalk with our Voip Server

IP telephony (Internet Protocol telephony) is a general term for the technologies that use the Internet Protocol's packet-switched connections to exchange voice, fax, and other forms of information that have traditionally been carried over the dedicated circuit-switched connections of the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Using the Internet, calls travel as packets of data on shared lines, avoiding the tolls of the PSTN. The challenge in IP telephony is to deliver the voice, fax, or video packets in a dependable flow to the user.

IP Telephony

Voice over IP (VoIP) is a methodology and group of technologies for the delivery of voice communications and multimedia sessions over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. Other terms commonly associated with VoIP are IP telephony, Internet telephony, broadband telephony, and broadband phone service. The term specifically refers to the provisioning of communications services (voice, fax, SMS, voice-messaging) over the public Internet, rather than via the public switched telephone network (PSTN).  Examples of the VoIP protocols are H.323, Media Gateway Control Protocol (MGCP), Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.248 (also known as Media Gateway Control (Megaco)), Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP), Real-time Transport Control Protocol (RTCP), Secure Real-time Transport Protocol (SRTP), Session Description Protocol (SDP), and Inter-Asterisk eXchange (IAX).
