I've been trying to get info on software (hardware?) needed to make free calls over the net. Not much luck. Very few reviews I can find. Can anyone advise? Thanks!

Use iChat, I don't think there is anymore free alternatives out there.
All the current ones are pay to play.

I've found iChat works pretty well even over slower connections. Another free option is OhPhoneX which is a H.323 compatible voicechat program. It is still in the early stages of development but does seem to work alright. It is compatible with Microsoft NetMeeting and other H.323 compatible voicechat programs. Besides OhPnoneX I haven't found any freeware H.323 programs.

I've been looking for the same kind of software. I want to call to a phone too from my computer, but it seems many of them require Windows. I'd rather not require the person I want to call to be in front of their computer and constantly running an app just in case I call. I'm just not that important.

There are others out there as well.
