Re: Fwd: Fwd: Discontinuing UK and FR dial-in numbers for Zakim

FWIW, I've been using SIP for my teleconferencing for a few weeks.

On a Mac, the client I use is Blink (http://icanblink.com/index.phtml).  It 
seems to work well enough.  Has mute button :)

I have a free SIP account with http://www.freespeech.co.uk/.
