Hi Hilmar!
Well, you can't say I'm the best guy to talk about these issues, since I just began to use it. All I know about VoIp and the like is what I recently read in a brazilian IT specialized magazine (Info -
http://info.abril.com.br). Last sunday I first used Skype and found it very easy to install and use, and the voice quality sounded very good to me. Think it is worth a try. More than that (as you asked) unfortunatelly I can't answer.
Regards,
Fernando

>>After 4 years contacting folks from the FoxPro community here and elsewhere, by mail or forum messages, I finally "upgraded" myself to some "new technologies" (well, new to me...) and added voice to my PC, that is now I can be reached at Skype (
www.Skype.com) by the username "falvares". If there is anybody that would find interesting to have a voice conversation with me (or at least to know how my voice sounds like <s>), I would be very happy to know.

>I have heard only once about skype. Is it good? Did you have a chance to compare it with other programs, such as MSN Messenger or or Yahoo! Messenger? Do you know whether the voice conversation works with private IP addresses? (I have had problems in this case, with MSN Messenger.)
