Getting Started with Zfone. What is Zfone?
Step 2 : Downloading and installing Zfone
<<<... The Zfone public beta is available now for Mac OS X (10.4 or later), Linux, and the 32-bit version of Windows XP. To download your copy right now, go to our Zfone Register-to-Download Page. If you have trouble downloading Zfone, visit our Zfone Download Help page. This new 2 February 2008 version implements the latest ZRTP Internet Draft protocol document (version 5), which we are about to submit to the IETF. It also has improved RTP detection logic to make it work more reliably with more VoIP clients. It now supports ICE, works better with Asterisk PBX systems (the new version of Asterisk that will have ZRTP support), and works with other non-SIP VoIP clients such as GoogleTalk. Although we don't support Windows 64-bit XP Pro in this release, that will come soon. However, we don't support Vista, which seems to be less popular. After you download it, run the install program and follow the installation instructions. Windows users should not interrupt the installation process, despite multiple warnings stating that the ZRTP Miniport driver is not Windows Logo certified. Just ignore the warnings and proceed with the install. It's dangerous to interrupt the installation of any device driver on Windows, including this one. Before starting the installation process, Zfone for Windows creates the restore point, which stores your system information at the moment of installation. If you have any problems you can always restore your system state back to this restore point... As usual, Mac OS X users will find the installation procedure self-explanatory. Linux users will actually have to compile the source code and build it, but we figured typical Linux geeks can handle that. Later, we will provide Linux binaries so you won't have to build it. Testing Zfone. When you have Zfone installed, you should run it before you launch your VoIP client software, and leave it running all the time, in the background. Zfone should secure any VoIP call you make to another Zfone client while it's running, and it will tell you the call is secure with its own separate graphical user interface... more>>>
