there are tons of sip compliant clients for Windows Microsoft Messenger or
what ever its called now is one of them. xten sipX is another. 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.

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.
