Utilize the potential of : the Internet, no more long distance charges : http://www.cybernetone.com I checked out your page and found two problems. 1. If someone is using this from home, wouldn't their IP address be different everytime? VocalTec's Internet Phone has public "meeting rooms" that you can enter when you start up InternetPhone. You can simply find the person you are looking for and click on them to connect. 2. It's Windows only. VocalTec's cross platform support ensures I can talk to friends no matter if they use Macs or Windows. Of course, the ideal solution would be to set up a standard for voice communication that everyone follows so we can pick the product of our choice. Perhaps the telephone companies should investigate solutions to my two problems - it could be a way for them to adapt to new technologies, because we all know traditional long distance won't be here forever. Cheers, Kevin.
