I used Skype for a 3-way conference call yesterday with 2 clients. One was on a remote farm in South Africa. His partner was in the UK. Clear as a bell. Talked for an hour and a half, totally free. I've also used it to talk with friends in Malaysia, New Zealand, and Australia. My Skype ID is Rick_Archer. ------------------------ Yahoo!
