zoiper (VoIP client, both SIP and IAX)
Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2007 10:58 am
Found a very interesting item for all friends of portable VoIP: zoiper is a client that can handle both SIP and IAX protocols! Never saw another program having this feature.
The program strangely resembles the latest incarnation of idefisk, so I assume some relationship, but I ignore the details.
Concerning portability, it comes with an installer, which I couldn't open with 7zip (didn't try any other extractor). But after transferring the installation directory to my stick, I found it worked well on other computers and had kept all of its settings. It has however the default to associate the <callto> function to itself within the registry, so this would need to be disabled in the advanced settings (under automation/integration) before transferring the prog to the stick and then uninstalling it. Otherwise I didn't notice any important changes in the registry (but didn't check very thoroughly).
There are two issues which, imho, need to be cleared before posting this fine program to the DB:
1 - at this stage it is still beta, and each free version has an expiry date some 2 months later (the latest version came out yesterday and remains valid until 13.03.2007)
2 - although the download is a savvy 6.1. MB, the files in the install directory finally sum up to some 2.3 MB only. I have absolutely no idea where the rest is going, and call on the experts and cracks in this forum to find out more about his. My only guess is that the payed version "Biz" is already onboard, awaiting a special key or something of the sorts.
Cheers
