| | What is Skype? Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends.
The technology is extremely advanced – but super simple to use... You’ll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time!
Features Free unlimited worldwide phone calls to other Skype users Superior sound quality Works with all firewall, NAT and routers – nothing to configure! Friends list shows you when your Skype friends are online and ready to talk or chat Super-simple and easy to use Your calls are encrypted “end-to-end” in order to safeguard your privacy Based on cutting edge peer-to-peer technology developed by the creators of Kazaa and Joltid

It's not only a P2P phone, you can also use its SkypeOut function to make calls to friends who only have a landline or mobile phone anywhere in the world at local rates.

Since were talking about telephony related stuff, I have been looking for a great VMB and IVR to use (voice message broadcast and interactive voice recognition, respectively) with my voice modem. For the VMB, I need preditive dialing, cuz I want to dial and leave message only to voicemail and play a "oh i got the wrong number" when someone picks up. If anybody know of a good software to use and I am able to download, please let me know, thanks.

skype is awesome, I used it for the past two years to call back home and works perfectly. Good quality sound, easy to set up (parents don't always know how to do things!) and best of all FREE! The only thing it lacks is a webcam feature, for that I need to use MSN, but then again, nothing is ever perfect

QUOTE(Casanova @ Oct 14 2004, 09:18 AM) Do you know if this works with 56k modems? How is the quality of the sound in it? I don't have 56k, but I was talking with 56k users for a while and there were no problems unless the 56k user was doing something else concurrently like file downloading.

saving and restoring sessions . A few sites mentions even more rumors that a IE8A (alpha) is
already being tested at Microsoft, so could we seal a beta in late 2007 or early 2008? Most likely
since thats when FF3 final comes out. Of course the question to us coders is will it ...

Internet Explorer- Http Error 500 Glitch.

Intenet Explorer Glitch causes HTTP Error 500, which is then cached to become "permanent"! In
Internet Explorer (this occours in ALL versions by the way), the loading of the homepage can lag
considerably if you open IE before connecting to any service. If you open up another page before the
homepage loads, you'll more than likely get a "HTTP 500 Internal Server Error". Due to the way
Internet Explorer deals with pages, the error would be stored in a Cache when it happens. By
default, Internet Explorer uses the Cached version of any page if available to speed ...

than what something else does - and believe it or not, using FireFox doesn't make you any better
