I know about ekiga and such but they do not serve for all my aims.
I (and many people in my country - Russia, when existing terrible and
bloody dictatorship of tyrants Putin and Medvedev ) need to have an
encrypted telephony either for calling to VoiP-phones or to ordinary phones.
But in the last case ekiga and SIP are not useful and the sources of the
