How about giving FreeWorldDialup (FWD) a try?
The protocol is SIP (RFC2543). Interoperability - check. The audio uses RTP.
The endpoint needs to be a SIP phone - either a hardware one (and there's one for $70) or a software one. There's KPhone and some proprietary Linux ones.

The service itself is free. There are a few other free proxies, so if this one goes down you can use another.
What's really nice about FWD is that Pulver supplies a NAT proxy. If both sides are behind a NAT, they can still converse!
If you get to configure it and use it, drop me a line at FWD #23501
I can testify that I had spoken with my X-GF for literally HOURS from India to Israel, for nothing.
