[Tfug] USB Phone Recommendations

[John Morrow]

Skype comes in different flavors. The free flavor is strictly pc to pc
(and by pc I mean 'personal computer' running windows, macosx or x86
Linux). You can subscribe to other Skype services that will allow you
to talk with regular old-fashioned type phones. The windows version
supports video as well. http://www.skype.com is where you can find
more info.
