I know very little about skype and don't have much time or personal interest in learning about it. But, it's making inroads. I want to understand what it does and what free software alternatives are available. Is it possible for free software alternatives to inter operate with the skype world? -- Eric Dantan Rzewnicki | Systems Administrator Technical Operations Division | Radio Free Asia 2025 M Street, NW | Washington, DC 20036 | 202-530-4900 CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION This e-mail message is intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
