I remember a long time ago, reading or seeing something on TV about being able to make phone calls through the internet... Anyways, now I have a reason to make international phone calls... but I don't feel like paying the rate to call south korea from canada...

So, was I just dreaming??

Or is this for real? Or have they made it cost money?

hehe.. just a side comment, I have been trolling the forums at work on a crappy pc, with a crt... and now I am scrolling from home, on safari with an lcd... holly crap batman, the difference is startling

I remember a unit that would plug into your computer and phone that would allow this. The fee was 2.99 per month or something similar. The people one the other end wouldn't know you weren't on a normal phone. That's about all I know. You might want to search google for "voice over ip" or "IP Telephony". Wish I could be of more help. Good luck.
