(to Mugloites... from a thread on @lowendmac.net lists... the first internet
telephony app for Mac... unfortunately only for OS X & I don't imagine
they're keen on writing for OS 8/9 since it's taken them three years to get
around to making a Mac version)
DialPad for OS X seems to work quite well. I haven't been able to talk
to anyone yet (only allows you to dial 5 mins to a US # (couldn't get any
Canadian #s to work) for free (I think you can call Canada for $$) and I
only know 1 person's # in the US ;) but clarity is good.
I managed to get my friend's voicemail (Texas), leave a message, and use the
system to play the message back before sending it. The voicemail voice comes
through clear as a whistle (and hardly *any* delay) and the message I left
was pretty clear (but not as clear).
FYI: I did this at 20:30 EST (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) on a B&W G3/450 OS X
10.0.4 with the Apple supplied microphone and the built-in speaker, and my
access to the web is limited only by the 10BaseT hub I'm on (can't remember
if I'm on a T3 or T5).
