prices. How low can they go? Would you believe, free?
Dialpad is now offering free long distance calling over the net. All
you need is a sound card, microphone and speakers. The reception is
slightly delayed, but what the heck. Best of all, if you have a dialup
connection, you don't have to disconnect from the Internet when you
want to make a phone call. They are planning to offer free international
calling in the near future.
