i use microsoft's netmeeting (totally free and i am only playing chess and talking with my brother) which does allow for registering in a directory (mark people's names), for calling over the internet. yes, you can call direct (i have a cable modem with a static ip address), so i do not register (to many weirdos call since i have a video cam on my pc). msft does this today and a good many people use it to call overseas and the u.s. for free (include video also). currently idtc has it setup for regular phones was my point, not that they could not upgrade the software to also have businesses use the internet to register their "phone number," which would show only as the business name. but i think businesses will shy from this until they are satisfied with the quality and they decide to spring for the new costs associated with what the technology involves (internet phone/pc, not just a phone), ability to route calls to other pc's (i talked to sam about this, hold as i connect you),.... pbx capabilities.
