Hi  Sharon,

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion.  I too am very fussy about spyware 
but have so far been reassured ( thus far) by technical reviews that SKYPE 
meets my criteria.  I also run extensive anti-spyware software on a regular 
basis to counter any nasties!

I will check out the net2phone programme as well -  it always pays to look 
at all of the options available.

with best wishes
Roger

SKYPE?


Dear Roger,

I haven't used SKYPE, but have used net2phone with excellent results
when I made calls to Kuwait and Germany.  I used their free PC to PC
feature with a microphone and it worked very well.  The download is easy
and so is signing on.  I would suggest net2phone over the other options
mainly because of the lack of spyware that it uses (in case you don't
know, spyware is all the hidden software that hackers and those
interested in your personal information use to gain access to your
computer.  It is usually attached to free software downloads like skype
and the instant messenger services).
