Anybody else heard of Free World Dialup(http://fwd.pulver.com/). It's a PC-to-PC Voice-over-IP service, using SIP protocol.

It's really cool, or atleast it looks that way. :)

Now, I just need to find a reason for why I installed it.

Used it a few months ago, then noone I know uses it so I never used it again :D

Yeah. That's what I'm afraid of... no one to talk to. Course, most of my friends don't have broadband.

It probably isnt secure anyway,EVERY HACKER OUT THERE WOULD BE "LISTENING IN" :(

The Dude :)

As for hackers listening in, I wouldn't care.

We've got Free World Dialup linked into our PABX. We don't use it all that much though, it's more of a "because we could" :)

We're thinking of delinking though - at least with the switchboard number. We've got around 20 consecutive numbers, and the number for our switchboard gets *a lot* of "prank" calls. I won't say the number, but I will say that the number is 5 digits and the digits are all the same (which probably explains it).

From any phone (providing the class of service allows it), one can also reach FWD by dialing 6 and then the FWD number. However, if you're dialing from a phone without a corresponding number in the incoming FWD range, the caller ID is set wrong (merely programming, but I haven't gotten around to fixing it).
