This is the piece of software we certainly need! The voice quality is superb, and very easy to use the program.

The linux platform got its port recently, so I hope to see this proggie for our AMiGAs too :hammer:.
There is a platform independent solution for calls over INet, and it is called Speak Freely but its command based only and has a rudimental arexx GUI.

:-) Well it happens to use Skype for quite a long time now (on my PC unfortunatelly), but yesterday I spoke with a friend of mine who is a Linux fanatic! He used the linux version of the program and was pretty cool. The last time I visited http://www.skype.com , there were only M$-clients (maybe for Macs also) but no other OS support.

It would be like instant-messaging prorams (msn,icq etc.) to be a platform-independant way of communication (jabber), but supporting voice!!! And the quality is optimal!

I didn't use it as a phone replacement, just PC<->PC to cut the international-call costs down.
