Tycho Softworks, a provider of free software based telephony solutions and migration support, today announced support for the GNU Telephony Software Stack. Tycho Softworks will offer and support a prepackaged GNU Telephony software stack so that developers of scalable enterprise, carrier hosted, and governmental telephony solutions can focus on developing their applications rather than on configuring the underlying platform.

The GNU Telephony stack has initially been packaged for use on RedHat and CentOS GNU/Linux distributions, and will later be packaged for Debain based GNU/Linux distributions such as Ubuntu. Support for the GNU Telephony stack will also be offered for other GNU/Linux distributions, as well as OpenSolaris and various forms of BSD systems such as FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Mac OS/X. Limited support for some components of the GNU Telephony stack will also be available under Microsoft Windows.

The GNU Telephony stack currently consists of the CAPE Framework of GNU Common C++ 2, the GNU RTP Stack (ccRTP), and GNU ccAudio; SIP support using libeXosip2 as supported by antisip.com; H.323 support through the OpenH323 stack (soon Opal); Desktop VOIP clients LinPhone and GNOME Meeting; PartySIP and Ser SIP call servers; GNU Gatekeeper H.323 call server; GNU Bayonne2 Voice Application Server; and Telephony Drivers for Voicetronix and Sangoma computer telephony hardware.
