Subject: Dial-A-Mac?

Out of all the listers out there, just wondering if there is anybody  
that uses your mac for a telephone? I'd really like to unhook the  
telephone and go straight internet for everything. Can this be done?  
on a PPC Mac?
I am aware of Skype and others like that... but I'm curious what  
experience others have had, good or bad.

Skype is very good and reasonable except that you have to be at your  
computer to receive a call(I think). It's difficult to figure out  
their system if your a Mac person, it's not very intuitive.

If you pay them for a phone number, you can have it forward to a
mobile phone or to a landline if you want. For me, this is an
*excellent* companion to a cell phone.

I haven't had any problems figuring out their system, of course I'm an
engineer, with both PC and Mac experience...
