I'm new to Ekiga. I am following the Ekiga Configuration Assistant to 
set up an Ekiga.net Account (step 4 of 9). I am in the UK.

The link to 'Get an Ekiga.net SIP account' attempts to go to 
https://ekiga.im/ to which I am unable to connect:

    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at ekiga.im.

Attempts to get to http://ekiga.im/ result in the same.

Attempts to get to http://ekiga.net/ result in the same.

Attempts to get to https://ekiga.net/ result in a message that the site 
is configured incorrectly:

    The owner of ekiga.net has configured their web site improperly. To
    protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not
    connected to this web site.

While over-riding the certificate failure might sometimes be considered 
acceptable, that seems the wrong thing to do for communications 
software, or when creating an account.

Is there a good way to sign up for an Ekiga account? Is there an update 
to the software.

Douglas Milnes.
