No one mentioned Skype?
No start up fees, no commitments, turn off and back on whenever you
like (except maybe an inbound number). Works pretty well. Sound
quality pretty good. Rates for landline connections seem fair.
Some negative:
Processor usage seems very high to me (I can no longer run it on my
700Mhz machine).
(But somehow it runs great on hand held devices... why can't I get one
of those apps for my computer).
My brief research did not turn up any simple solution to getting a
VOIP box and hooking to an internal POTS system (like in a house),
though I have seen some things that *sort of* do that. This is
something I should look into again.
