Fedora's default doesn't install the dialup tools, it's just a click
away though.  The other night I happened to be monitoring my skype
session with tools in pfsense & found that it was consuming between
100-200KB all the time while connected with video.  I haven't done
audio-only in a LONG time so I'm not sure on that end.
