Skype Beyond the Hype Incidentally I installed Skype a week ago. I tried Roger Wilco rogerwilco.gamespy.com and the venerable NetMeeting microsoft.com for Net phone calls before. Of these three Skype has the best voice quality and is the easiest to install - e.g. no NAT modification of the router needed.

The Hype of Skype. I have to read this, and research this more, but MSN messenger allows voice chat between myself and any of my pre-selected "friends" that are also using messenger. Can't really see the difference... It's not full duplex (i.e., we can't talk over each other) but for free calling to my parents or friends 12,000 miles away, I can live with that...
