Hi
Actually, I have found a very nice SIP client that works great with Voiceover. Though it's not free, it puts just about every other SIP client I've ever used to shame in every way. It's called Expresstalk, and you can find it here:

It's probably overkill in its feature set for most of us, it certainly is for me, but it's the only completely accessible and still maintained SIP client I've found for OS X. There are other mostly accessible ones out there, but they seem to have been abandoned quite a while ago. Gizmo 5 is also mostly accessible, but you have to be very careful when using it as if you interact with most of the controls the program will throw an accessibility exception and crash, so you have to know its layout and use normal keyboard access exclusively with VO cursor tracking turned off to avoid this.

We are thinking of the same program. I was actually going to email the list again, because now I'm having some trouble with it. It worked perfectly at first, and for some reason the 2nd time I opened it it appears to have no windows. But really, until I first closed the program and opened it again, I was able to just type a phone number on an edit field, press enter, and it would just call.
I emailed the developer. I'll let you know what he says...

Hi
Where do you get this program? I found a different SIP software by the same name that is coded in Java/Swing, but even though some of the buttons are visible to VO it seems almost impossible to use as none of the lists are readable with VO. Are we thinking of the same program and if so, how are you able to interact with the lists to do so much as sign into one of your SIP accounts?

Hello all,
I thought I would post this to the list, in case someone is interested. Before I switched to the Mac I used Voipbuster to make international calls, but the software wasn't available for Mac OS X. I just discovered an open source program called SIP communicator, which is basically accessible with VO. I don't think there's other SIP clients for the Mac, so I thought I would let everyone know, just in case. I just made a call, and it works great. Some of the buttons are not labelled correctly but have help tags. I'm going to email the developer now because this is still an Alpha release, so hopefully they'll at least label those controls.
