RING MASTER One way to reduce your phone bill is to talk less. Another way is to use MediaRing Talk 99, an application that lets you place free long-distance calls over the Internet. The interface resembles a telephone keypad, but unlike other "Internet phones" that imitate the look, Talk 99 allows you to dial another user's modem phone number, and not the IP address--the program determines that person's IP address and establishes a direct connection. Sound quality is excellent, but the program's most impressive feature is its ability to call offline PCs. When you dial someone who is not connected to the Internet, Talk 99 sends a signal to that user's modem. If the receiving PC is powered on and MediaRing Talk 99 is running, the program will acknowledge the signal and then log itself on to the Internet to receive the call.
