Subject: [Shtoom] RELEASED: Shtoom 0.1
Message-ID: <200401110434.i0B4YXK6008384@localhost.localdomain>

I'm happy to announce the first release of Shtoom. Shtoom is a Python
implementation of a voice over IP software phone, using the standard SIP
protocol. The first release features: 

  - basic calling functionality (can make and receive calls),
  - Qt, Gtk, Tkinter and text user interfaces (of varying degrees of 
    functionality), 
  - audio support for Linux/FreeBSD (using ossaudiodev) and Windows/MacOS X 
    (using PortAudio), 
  - audio codecs G711 (64kbit/s) and GSM 06.10 audio (3kbit/s) with an 
    optional extension,
  - firewall traversal via STUN.

It's been tested against Cisco IOS 12.3, Asterisk, kphone and linphone.

It's available from the website: http://shtoom.sf.net/

Future plans include: 
  - error handling <wink>
  - SIP registration support
  - A number of other applications, including shtam (answering machine) and
    shtoomcu (conferencing server).

Subject: [Shtoom] Greetings from an OS X advocate
Message-ID: <A38BA79C-45BA-11D8-8894-0003936CD80C@mac.com>

I am new to the list, and very pleased to have found the project via : 
http://www.pythonware.com/daily/

Recently I managed to convince a client to give Python a try for their 
voice/IP project.

Currently the project is due to be piloted on Windows boxes. It 
currently simply steers MS NetMeeting and logs calls made, I am keen to 
get this thing running eventually a) under Mac OS X and  b) using open 
source technology.

Cheers!!

Some rough first notes on the shtoom application layer. I plan
to begin this refactoring tomorrow, as it will make the process
of delivering applications other than the basic phone possible.

Apologies for the duplicate messages - I was fiddling with postfix
configuration on the home network. Oops. All better now.

Is this easily achievable?
Right now I am installing twisted, it is pretty hefty.

Nope. Reimplementing all that twisted gives me would be a hell of a
lot of work, for little or no gain.
