there are tons of sip compliant clients for Windows Microsoft Messenger or 
what ever its called now is one of them.  xten sipX is another.  What i was 
getting at is there are lots of standards compliant ways to do what skype  
does.  in a much more friendly way.

Umm  i linked a server in the US into the Phone system in Australia  so that 
my family can call me for a local call.  I.e  pick up the phone in there 
house and dial me.  It costs me about $6 a month   and can be done all over 
the world.  costs will vary.
