Hello,

it's not really the case you mention, as we tried software SIP client  
with USB phone (or headset) but it was too much hassle to come by.  
(We didn't even try as the design appeared complicated ans missing  
some apps)

Finaly, we built the following solution:

we put a hardware phone next to the each DTUs and we have a script  
which active the phone with the correct number when you login  and  
deactivate the phone when you logout or lock the screen (explicit  
lock, a timeout lock will not trigger the removal script) (smart card  
removal).

It works very well and this provide complete transparent phone  
solution. And also, nearly all phones accept internal dialing even if  
the attached DTU is not logged, which is really cool. (imagine, you  
get into your office, smart card into your pocket, you wanna tell the  
guy in the next building that you wanna go out dinner, just pick up  
the phone, no need to get into software SIP client)

We also added phone-from-dtu (ok, I just invented that name), which  
allows you to dial your hardware phone from your DTU. It's just a  
shell script called dial <number> wich will do all the job. We  
created a gnome applet to interface with this script.
