Phones and VoIP

ciphergothTwo questions:
1) By any chance, does anyone have a spare tri- or quad-band phone I can use while I'm in SF? My SIM card has arrived and I have a phone I can use in this country, but it would be nice to have a phone while I'm away.
2) What's the best way to get a voice conversation between a Linux and a Windows machine? I have Ekiga installed under Linux and it seems to work, and I've got myself a SIP address, so one way would be to find a good SIP client for Windows. But perhaps I should be using something else altogether? I've Googled, of course, but one recommendation from someone who's been there is worth a thousand searches.

OT, but...

Advogato (http://www.advogato.org/) has implement the ability to generate your Advogato diary from an RSS or Atom feed. As you're probably aware, Livejournal can generate RSS or Atom feeds via
http://ciphergoth.livejournal.com/data/atom (http://ciphergoth.livejournal.com/data/atom)and you can even make it generate a feed of just posts that have a particular tag by putting?tag=whateverat the end of the URL.It would be nice to read your blog syndicated via Advogato, because when I want to read programming related stuff instead of just random ramblings of friends, Advogato is a much better place to go.
