Anyone else using this freeware? It’s like Vondage, but free between computers. One of woman’s friends got her started using it, cool stuff, instant msgr with voice. Works well with laptops that have built in spk and mic. Voice quality over dsl is really good, drives dog nuts looking for someone else in the room.<br /> :)

Re: Skype.com

I thought about trying it, but figured I'd read up on it first. The part that makes me think twice about it is, it's based in Kazaa...which in my opinion isn't a good thing. I'll reserve further comment until I can read a bit more. Since you are able to control your own security keys, you're in complete control.<br /><br />Some time back I did use a small, no longer published program called PGP Phone ver. 2.x that does the same thing. It worked a treat. Since is was designed by Phil Zimmerman (PGP Author), there was little chance for a backdoor to the program.<br /><br />I also read that all VOIP programs will have to be registered with the Govt. for them to gain access (if need be) to monitor those conversations....OH Boy !!!
