I set up a new GMail account XXXXX.asterisk@gmail.com. This shows up in my buddies' Google Talk client. Double clicking on it rings my Phone1 (Grandstream 2000) instantaneously. Dialing a 7000 series number on Phone1 connects me with the Google Talk client. Voice quality is pretty good.

After a fair amount of research, I have successfully integrated Google Talk into my Asterisk installation on the NSLU2. The pertinent complete .conf files are presented below. "XXXXXX" indicates where I am obscuring personal information. Three "buddies" are shown; more can be added.

gtalk and jabber modules have to be loaded; they are not loaded by default.
