Bug#737740: Please document SIP service interoperation

[Enrico Zini]

Package: ekiga
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

thank you for packaging ekiga.

Now that Debian runs a SIP service[1], it would be nice if softphones in
Debian could easily connect to it. I did a client review today, and as
far as I could tell ekiga cannot connect to the Debian SIP server
because it doesn't support TLS.

If that is correct, can you please add a note to README.Debian
mentioning that ekiga cannot be used for this, and perhaps recommend an
equivalent alternative?

At the moment I added a mention of the lack of TLS here[2],


Ciao,

Enrico
