    Skype isnt free. You need to be careful how you use it. Some of the call costs are worse than cell phones.

    According to this guy, it's The Next Big Thing http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20050728.html. When Murdochs News Corp is looking closely, and figures of $US3Billion are being bandied around, it's not just bar talk
    also "Skype comes from the people who did the Kazaa peer-to-peer network application that drives record company executives mad while simultaneously loading spyware on your PC. But where Kazaa at one point annoys everyone, Skype just offers peer-to-peer voice communication, sans spyware, for the best of all prices: free. If I have Skype on my computer and you have Skype on yours, we can talk for nothing and the audio quality is surprisingly good -- good enough that 142 million people have so far downloaded Skype, with probably 20 million using the service on a daily basis"
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    actually I got less lag on 56k than I did on my network (due to some proxy issues)

    56k is fine for skype just dont expect wonders.

    it would be nice if it had a quality slider in it for highspeed but no.


    edit: on exact same setup too. I just unplug network cable and dial up on modem. yes im an it geek

    Yeah I use it quite regularly to talk to my parents. Works pretty good, have had a bit of trouble with 3 way connections though.

    If you need to test it, call echo123.
