    Way Too Damn Complicated, unless you are a geek and enjoy that stuff. There
    are plenty of dial-around companies where you can make a half-hour call
    overseas for five or six bucks. Connections may be a little iffy at times,
    since the long-haul is probably riding space-available on what would
    otherwise be vacant bandwidth of one of the real phone companies, but for
    the price, tolerable. Sort of like getting a last-second deep-discount
    airline seat. Once that window on that pipe comes around, selling it at any
    price beats letting it go empty. But since the pipe is sized for corporate
    communications, after hours/weekends there is PLENTY of excess capacity. It
    has never taken me more than 3 tries to get a connection, and it usually
    goes through on the first try.

    aem sends...

    I have a Swiss friend who call me when his computer doesn't boot. He's
    no geek. But, alas, he is an avid Skyper, but without the Mobivox as he
    doesn't own a cellphone at the age of 83.

    Half the old farts in Thun, Switzerland, are also Skypers because of him.
    They go on for hours across the planet....(c;

    Very fair. Read back through the Verizon newsgroup and compare how many
    times it bombs, compared to this ONE Skype outage for server upgrades....

    Very fair, indeed...(c;
