OTOH I haven't even bothered installing any version of their client on my PC, because I'm only interested in using SIPphone/Gizmo5 indirectly from my VoXaLot account. Instead, I just go to SIPphone - Call worldwide over your Internet connection with any phone and click in the "Member Login" button to control my account.

And while that mostly seems to work well, I didn't find any "inbound forwarding" option on that web portal page. So it appears as if your inbound SIPphone/Gizmo5 "forwarding options" vary depending upon how you control your SIPphone/Gizmo5 account (web page, or some version of their Gizmo5 client).

I installed the Gizmo Debian client on an Asus EEE pc running Ubuntu 8.10, and sure enough the menu on the Gizmo client does not list sip forwarding as an option.

However, I tested forwarding to sip:xxxxxx@voxalot.com, and it worked like a charm.

kurun: Yes, thanks for testing that. I was about to report the same success as well!

DracoFelis: Gizmo5/SipPhone seems to keep some of their advanced options in the desktop client. e.g. Changing/recording voicemail message and SMS voicemail alerts (although the former you can do on your phone and the latter option hasn't worked for me).

Now that it is forwarded...most of the settings don't matter anyway.
