Hello,
I noticed that OBiTalk portal has a softphone. Pardon my ignorance but I would like to know:
1. What is its name?
2. Whether any softphone from voip.ms wiki, e.g. 3cx, ekiga, bria, etc. is acceptable for use in OBi110.
I have a PC running Win 7 and Linux.
Thanks for your help.

Obion PC app (OBiAPP)
Which can be download here: http://www.obihai.com/firmware/OBiAPPsetup.exe
It is not a softphone. It is an app OBihai developed that works in conjunction with a softphone, like the one's you mentioned. When the OBiAPP is on, it first connects to the OBiTALK portal. You can confirm this by seeing the green status light on the portal when it connects. The softphone in turn connects to the OBiAPP. Note that the softphone needs to be configured with proxy server settings to the localhost computer, which as you now are aware of is connected to the OBiTALK portal via the OBiAPP. The OBiAPP is the glue which connects all sip sofphones to the OBiTALK portal in order to take advantage of the OBiTALK services.

Any of those phones should work in theory. In reality all sofphones seem to have their own specific nomenclature in the design of their app. These variations of where and how to apply the proper settings to work with the OBiAPP sometimes make one softphone easier to setup than another.
