Just discovered that VOIP works with dialup after all–that is if you use

the GSM or iLDP codec (compression-decompression) with your

client.  pulver Communicator supports these codecs, and so does Skype. 

But Skype’s such a resource-hog (and a proprietary communicator unlike FWD, which is not client-dependent).


So there’s hope after all for

those of us who don’t have broadband at home.


Anyway, at the

office, I use SJPhone,

since it’s a lighter application .  No bells and whistles, but it

works, and I like the straightforward interface!  Sadly, the free

version doesn’t support the GSM and iLDP protocols (hence a broadband

conneciton is needed for the heavier codecs that feature better voice

quality).  And at home, I use pulver whenever I find the need to

call via VOIP.


The whole family will be staying at Discovery Suites

this weekend!  Another hotel weekend for the kids (and the

kids-at-heart) to enjoy.  Will take Pia swimming if we have the

time.
