Direct IP call with X-Lite 3?

Hello

I'd like to dump Skype and call a friend using an SIP client directly,
ie. no registration with a VoIP provider and just call his IP address
directly.

One post in the archives says "You need to make a "SIP Proxy" like:
o Direct Dial IP = Yes o Enabled = Yes. Then make a "Phonebook" entry
like: o SIP URL: 1...@1.2.3.4 IP address here o ProxyID = Direct
Dial IP o Speed No = 123 ", but I don't see those options in X-Lite 3.

Does X-Lite 3 allow direct IP calls? If not, what SIP client do you
recommend?

Thank you.

I hope neither of you is behind NAT, or you'll have problems aplenty...

X-Lite 2?

SJphone (http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html ) does support direct IP calls, and
is one of the few available also in a version for PocketPC/WM5 (also free).
The setup is a little unfriendly, but it works well.

A pair of Grandstream Budgetone's works well enough for direct calls.
(Either by using something like Pulver's FreeWorldDialup proxy
http://www.freeworlddialup.com/ or dialing the IP directly using the
phone's IP dialing mode.) These phones even look like phones so folks
aren't too put off by it. Sound quality is much better than any
softphone or POTS phone I've tried. Softphones all seem to have
dropouts and stutters while hardware sip phone seem to have the
dedicated cpu cycles when they need them. The phones tend to hover
around $60 each mailorder.

Thx guys for the info. It appears that X-Lite supports direct IP
calling. Just do NOT register with server, make sure both hosts allow
incoming packets on UDP 5060-5061 so they can see each other, and
create accounts so you can dial "test@remoteip".

Can you clarify how you configured X-Lite 3.x without SIP account to be able to make a direct IP call? I have managed with SJPhone but I can not find the way to do it with X-Lite 3.x.
