Hi Mike,

I am successfully using Skype to make long distance calls to dial phones.
It is free to do so within North America for the rest of this year--and
their international rates are very low. I have even successfully used it
with a dialup connection to call Hobart Tazmania. There was little time
delay--but I think that is a function of how busy the net is and whether
the voip programs can find a "clear path". Many isp's are trying to "block"
voip calls, but Skype at least has "fought back" with a stealth mode to
sneak by the detection software. This means a short wait when "dialing" a
call.
