hmmm...as soon as I get my new computer up, I gotta have this! I have had IPhone..(Internet Telephone) for 2½ years, and it does the same trick..(I have spoken 'live' to folks in OZ a couple of times)...the trouble is, it cost me...hmmm...$40, I think...and I only have a half-duplex sound card, so I have to 'wait' to speak till the other person is done..like the old movies with the hand-held mics.."..can you HEAR me, Charlie?..over.."...it is quite neat, but requires owning the software..I sure will be happy to have this new one..
