Is it possible to call from a PC or an Mac to a "normal" phone??
i know there are some applications, but they're not free.
and i was wondering if there's a application that can do this (for free).

Thanx....

Dunno any that are free but Dial Pad so far is the only one who has anything for VoIP for Mac to Phone or Mac to PC

I think dialpad is free in the US, but Dialpad X is still in beta...dunno if its even changed anytime recently. I heard good things about haxial netphone, but its computer to computer only.

There are providers who offer free phone from a pc to a normal phone number.
Usually they expect you to use microsoft netmeeting. I heard it will come to macs,
so it should work there, too.

You live and learn. At any rate, you live.
