What i was getting at is there are lots of standards compliant ways to do what skype does. in a much more friendly way.
Oh, are there? Which one does work for Windows AND Linux? (No, Microsoft Messenger is not an option, since I'll have to use it too). However, I doubt I'll be able to use any of those, since no one will install any program that does exactly what Skype does, just because I tell them to.

And even if > I did, I don't think it's possible in Latin America, where I live. 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.
No thanks, I want a free (as in beer) service if there is one. And there certainly is one - Skype, while it works.
