Voice Chat with Linux

Posted by Keith Elder | Posted in Linux, PC Software | Posted on 16-10-2000

The Scoop

Tired of all the windows users having all the fun? Well, Speak Freely is your answer.

Let’s Get Going

Speak Freely is very simple to install if you are using Debian Linux. apt-get install speak-freely If you are using one of the other distributions then head over to their site and download the rpm and install it. Be sure to grab the latest version since it comes with the TK front end.

Getting through the firewall

If you happen to have a Linux firewall, then you will need to issue the following command. The following command only works if you are using ipchains:
ipmasqadm autofw -A -r udp 2074 2075 -c udp 2075
The Benefits

During using SpeakFreely I have found it to be clearer than any other program I have used (yes any). Another great benefit of it is the encryption over the wire it offers, as well as the different levels of compression it supports. If you have any troubles then post a comment, I am sure someone or myself will get back to you with an answer.
