skype.com - internet phone I just heard about SkyPe. Sounds pretty interesting. Anybody out there tried it yet? SOunds like free phone conversations to me! I will have to install it over the weekend and give it a shot? I guess all I need is someone to call :-) (2004-06-25 13:31:31.0) Permalink Comments [1]

I just tried Skype today on my JDS system at home. Tried to call someone while connected to SWAN via VPN. The voice was fairly distorted; enough to be unusable. Then, I tried directly on the internet, with going through VPN, SWAN, and a web proxy. Better voice quality, but still a little distorted. But almost no latency. That's interesting. I'm guessing that the web proxy is the bottleneck in this experiment.
