Description
GNU Gatekeeper
GNU Gatekeeper (or GnuGk for short) is a totally free, open-source software that works across different platforms. It’s built on the OpenH323 project and helps manage Voice-over-IP networks. This means it allows devices like Netmeeting to chat with each other using easy-to-remember names instead of complicated numbers. Plus, it has a web-based interface that makes tasks like billing a piece of cake!
