Skype has paid contracts with long-distance providers, ekiga.net relies on those available free-of-charge through the likes of freeworlddialup. I am expect Skype has leverage with one of its providers to properly terminate all 1-800 calls without charging you. If you register your copy of Ekiga with a SIP provider that has POTS relationships, then you will probably get better 1-800 service. _______________________________________________ ekiga-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/ekiga-list
