" tried iSoftPhone and while it was quick to setup and worked well ... on a Macbook Pro the echo was terrible and made it unusable. Hopefully they update it and fix the echo problem.
I have used Eyebeam and no adjustments needed It auto tests and fixes echo, etc

I have used other software SIP phones i.e. Eyebeam and they have no echo problem. Now if only Eyebeam would update for Intel macs.
(I'd never heard of EyeBeam before but searched and found this xten.com EyeBeam SoftPhone, which looks pretty cool but doesn't list Mac OS support on that page - lists various Windows versions, but I assume intel-based Macs running XP via bootcamp could also use it. He later replied with a link to their forums that had a Mac version download.-Mike)
they have terrible info and updates...the intel (Mac) version is due this week they tell me.
It is actually great software , has SIP plus video
It worked great on non intel macs and hopefully will be better on Intel macs
here are their forums and where you can download the software (think you need a login to see the downloads)

cheers, Russell "

The product page didn't mention pricing, but looking in the threads on the software downloads found a Buy page. Prices vary depending on features and ranged from $60 for Audio, Video + IM to $30 for audio-only versions.

"Just set up my Apple Extreme N router. The CD installer does install Airport Extreme 2007-001 over top of the 2007-001 install I previously did days before. (I assume he then installed the included 802.11n Enabler-Mike)
Airport Utility is easy to use and I did not use the hard disk utility but did set up my HP 2300 USB (printer), works fine.

My hard wired Mac Pro off the bandwidth speed test at cnet went from the usual 2350 kbps to 4513 kbps.
My MacBook Pro did not improve (initially). It usually attains 2350 kbps with my Linksys 54G router and got the same speed with the Apple Extreme N using the cnet test. Then I tried www.speakeasy.net because I felt that cnet.com was not reliable tonight. I'm happy to report that my MacBook Pro attained 4816 kbps. (those internet speed tests can vary, as internet traffic, hops along the way, server load, etc. can change and results can vary.)

I have not tested the range yet.

BTW I got mine by being the first and only person to reserve one at the Apple Store in Troy, Mi.
That store was flooded by people wanting the router. But supply was very limited.

I asked if he'd done any Mac-Mac file copy performance tests. (I was curious if the Apple router would have better performance with 802.11n enabled Macs than some readers reported with their D-Link and Linksys 802.11n routers.)

"I am using the Linksys WAP4400N in order to get a gigabit port. The only problems are that I can only get a 144MB connection on my MacBook and MacBook Pro, so that was a waste of effort on my part. (I assume he installed the 802.11n enabler on the MB/MBP) I should have just gotten the Apple Base Station... Also, when in N mode, the file transfers are 12x slower than G (ie: 2 minutes to transfer 30MB instead of 10 seconds).
(He later wrote)
Sorry, the Internet tests were half speed due to the dropouts in the LAN. I will test with encryption off (and MAC filtering on, of course for security) tonight. I posted on Linksys and Apple's forums re this problem as I am hoping their engineers figure out a fix for me and people that have my same set up.
I tested on both my MB and MBP with the update (802.11n enabler) installed.

The Apple Store in my area ran out of base stations for me to buy/test. I will check another store Monday or just order it on-line.

I've added Manny's comments to the previous page on 802.11n enabled Macs. (Includes reports from users of other 802.11n routers - Linksys WRT300N and D-Link DIR-655.)

• Apple (OEM) G4/466 module (set to 5x ratio/500MHz) in (Sawtooth G4/350) G4/AGP (rated 10)
  
  (Full reviews of G4 and G3 upgrades compared to stock CPUs, including real world apps/game tests, install info, etc. are linked at the CPU upgrades page. OC/CPU module articles are on the Systems page.)

You can find the full reports by searching the database selecting the indicated Mac model and upgrade card brand/type. If you've upgraded the CPU on your Mac, send a review with your experience (performance/stability/installation, etc.), Mac Model/Upgrade brand info and overall rating (1= worst to 10=best). Search the database for entries from most every upgradable Mac model *before* you buy. (Searchable by mac model/upgrade brand).
