Speak Freely is a 100% software-based VoIP phone originally
written in 1991 by John Walker, founder of Autodesk. After April of 1996,
he discontinued development on the program. Since then, several other
VoIP "phones" have cropped up all over the world. However,
most of these programs cost money. Most of them have poor sound quality,
and don't support some of Speak Freely's basic features such as encryption,
the answering machine, or selectable compression.
Out of fustration in the shortcomings of the other programs,
and even Speak Freely, I decided to implement what I thought were needed
features myself, starting in August of 1997. I contacted John Walker,
and he agreed to let me officially take over the project. In the
spirit of Open Source
SoftwareTM, I am licensing this program
under the GNU General Public License.
