Anyone aware of any SIP softphones that might virtualize well with Citrix
presentation server? I suspect I know the answer already as I have been
researching softphones that work with Cisco CallManager that can be
virtualized if you will with Citrix and have come to learn that its not
something that seems to be doable at this time. I have to assume that the
issues affecting the virtualization of cisco softphones with Citrix will
come into play with SIP softphones as well.

Seems that the two biggest issues revolve around wrapping the UDP stream up
with the ICA protocol, and possibly issues with the various mics and
speakers and having to interface with them I think.

However, I am also a firm believer that anything is possible, practical well
not usually, and it may just be the time has not come yet for this. There
is a good article about this over at:

http://www.brianmadden.com/content/article/How-should-Citrix-integrate-VoIP-with-Presentation-Server
Any thoughts, comments or insight into this and your experiences around any
of this is appreciated.

There is an option you might consider (if you are starting from scratch).

Don't use citrix. Write a web app.

Then embed a softphone in that web app.

MozPhone (moziax.mozdev.org) has been designed to be run in thin client
environment. I don't know much about Citrix, but I have customers
running MozPhone on thin clients in a Terminal Server environment. The
idea is that sound and IAX communication are managed locally on the thin
client, while user interface (Firefox extension) runs on the terminal
server.

Awesome!

Thanks for pointing out this link. I was looking for a thinclient
softphone a couple of years ago.

Any feedback on how well this works (thinclient and/or PC browser plugin)?

Thanks,
Steve Totaro

Disclaimer: as the main developper of MozPhone I'm obviously biased Smile

I used it myself in a Linux LTSP environment years ago without trouble.

My customers using it in the windows TS environment did lot of testing.
The audio part of the thin client is obviously important. They use
Neoware thin clients, and were getting good results with onboard sound
card. Then they tried a first usb headset which gave very bad sound, and
finally settled on the Plantronics CS60-usb headset. They contracted me
to add managment of CS60 buttons (off/on hook, mute) to MozPhone, so I
guess they are satisfied.
