No Linux solution, but I've recently been using Ivisit (www.ivisit.com) on a 
Windows box to talk to folks back in the UK. It's astonishing. On a broadband 
connection you get a webcam sized image at 30fps, with speech quality which 
is much better than the phone.

My in-laws have a dialup modem and they get 2-3fps, with very acceptable 
speech quality.

If only Ivisit did a Linux client...
