pc-to-pc audio/video conferencing

I've been looking into the ability of a direct (secure) connection from one Linux machine to another for the purposes of audio/video conferencing.  I know there's stull like ekiga but that requires an account and a third party server.  I'm looking for a solution that would be completely maintained between the two or three linux machines directly (webcam/mic).  What's out there that I'm not seeing in google?

Re: pc-to-pc audio/video conferencing

are you on the same network ?

If you don't want to use third party servers, are you saying that you will be maintaining the server as well?

If the network is small (like an apartment or house), I suggest walking over and talking face-to-face

@inx - not on the same network.  I'd be fine with the server on my box.

Re: pc-to-pc audio/video conferencing

Also interested, been meaning to move away from Skype for a time now. I've looked/asked around and found opensips. You'll still need a client to manage calls though, I'll probably try out Twinkle. I'm going to spend some time trying to set it up myself. Hope it helps.

Edit Note: I quickly moved from twinkle to linphone.
