Pulver Communicator

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

I have just downloaded the Pulver Communicator and as I already use
Skype I understand I can use it via the Communicator. However, what is
more interesting is that I am told I can make PC to Phone calls free
throughout the world via my Broadband connection, is this true and if so
what is the first action I must take to make a PC to Phone call as I
cannot see how it works.

Thank you Svein but I know about Skypeout, it works by putting up front
some credit with Skype so you can make PC to Phone calls as an internal
"closed" Skype thing, what I want to know about is the other one, "free
world dialup" which says you can make "free", i.e. no cost calls to land
lines, what I want to know is, is that correct.

Actually there is a sibling project, www.bellster.net, open to
participants who run their own Asterisk with an FXO interface to the local
PSTN to terminate other participants' calls. Details at
