Listing of Public SIP Servers

For testing and debugging purposes, the following SIP servers are available. Note that the SIP URL does not work with regular browsers such as Netscape (any version) or IE. It requires a modified browser that understands the SIP URL scheme. No such browsers exist at this time, as far as I know, although it should be possible to modify Mozilla accordingly.

hotfoon sip:hotfoon.com no UDP redirect New users have to create their own userids on the server by sending a REGISTER message that has the same password specified on both Contact and To fields. If you attempt to recreate an existing userid, a 409 (Conflict) error is returned. For example, shoot test.txt hotfoon.com 5060.
