You are only able to do half-duplex communications probably because you don't have a full-duplex soundcard.
net2phone.com Net2Phone enables any Internet user with a sound-equipped PC to initiate calls from a computer and transmit them over the Internet to Net2Phone's telephone switches. These switches automatically relay the call to its final destination -- any telephone. The result is real time, uninterrupted, full duplex voice communication between two parties.
net2phone.com What are Net2Phone's System Requirements: For Version 9.0 Windows 95, 98, Pentium class machine 8 Meg RAM, 28.8 Modem, PPP Internet, Sound Card, Microphone, Speakers (For full duplex capabilities you will need a full duplex soundcard).
>>>>>the quality is way inferior to regular phone<<<<<
net2phone.com What is the quality of Net2Phone? Net2Phone offers True Phone Quality (TPQ), virtually indistinguishable from traditional telephones. The overall quality will vary based upon your Internet connection + your ISP's connection speed.
Will Net2Phone work with a connection other than 28.8? Generally, the faster your connection, the better the quality of your Net2Phone call.
