Is it possible to connect with friend and using head sets, parties can literally talk to each other? Is it expensive and/or easy to set up. Surely would help on Long Distance calls. As usual, searched all info possible and don't know any more now than before...so much double-talk...lol Appreciate help. Both Windows ME. Ruth

Called SKYPE. Free and easy to use. No connection to AOL, thank God.
EBay just purchased Skype Technologies, SA of Luxembourg in a transaction worth as much as $4.2 billion this week.
Popular in Europe and Asia with over 54 million worldwide users, this is a free software.
You will need a microphone connected to your computer and download their Skype software.
Good-by ATT&T & Virizon for long-distance calls.
Want to call Europe for free? Use Skype.
I love the thought of it!
