Have a look at http://www.skype.com/ which will provide you with a
soft-phone which does PC-PC calls and if you buy credits with Skypeout you
can call PSTN phones in any country. The rates are published for each
country you are calling - it doesn't matter where you are calling from and
most countries are 1.2EuroCents per minute.

You would be better with hardware - preferably a USB phone - but to evaluate
the package Skype use a headset with boom mike. Remember to disconnet the
earphone plug when you are not using it so that you may hear incoming rings
on the PC Speakers.

Have fun

Dave,

I have been using Skypeout for 3 days. It seems to me that you can
only use Skypeout to reach a PSTN phone. not its extension number. My
experience is that after a PSTN phone number is connected, you are no
longer able to key in its extension number. Am I right?

First your internet provider must have the ablity about voip .
Then you must install a call software in your computer, such as sip-phone
or MGCP- phone.

I am not an authority on Skype, KC but there is a Skype Forum which may help
you further.
No doubt you know of it but it is :-
http://forum.skype.com/bb/

Personally I have used this feature to UK numbers OK where the PBX answers
the number and invites the input of the extension e.g.

0044 1955 XXXXXX
Wait for reply
229

I use a USB Phone and can either enter the numberts on the USB Phone or on
Skype Dialler.
One last suyggestion - have you downloaded the latest version of Skype
0.98.0.68?

Sorry that's all I can suggest - good luck!

If U have a pocket tone dialer, you can try to generate the tone near the
MIC of the headset to see if skype will propagate the tones for the other
end device to recognize.
