There has been some press in the voip space over the past few days about
the new Vivox SLim
<http://www.betanews.com/article/Linden_Labs_Second_Life_adds_VoIP_clien
t/1220476310#c1822503>  application.

Linden Labs and Vivox <http://www.vivox.com/>  partnered to create SLim
which is a discrete VOIP client that is meant to run alongside the
Second Life viewer allowing it to communicate voice calls with others
not necessarily running the Second Life application.


Vivox isn't really that big a deal Mexuar implemented a 168k java applet
using the open source Asterisk platform into Second Life about 18 months
ago.

It enabled voice calls in both a many to many 'open voice' conference
room but also the ability to make 'real world calls' onto the pstn
network either outbound or even inbound using the Asterisk servers PRI's
or Voip channels.

At one stage there was a mockup of a virtual cell phone you could use in
Second Life to make calls or link inbound calls to your real world cell
phone as well.


Cheers,
