Welcome Apoplectic!
I like your name. And I also like Webster's 1913 ed which I read via goldendict.

F. apoplexie. See {Plague}.] (Med.) Sudden diminution or loss of consciousness, sensation, and voluntary motion, usually caused by pressure on the brain. [1913 Webster]

Anyway, to the merits (Cooking Roms): I am a member of the linphone user's group and it is very active with linux users who are apparently using linphone on their cell/smart phones, something (a cell phone) I am happily without. But I do use linphone constantly on my VL 7 standard system.
WELCOME!
