Anyone know of a program for VOIP without the middle man
I mean without Magic Jack, or Google Voice etc..
Way back in the day of dial up modems and Windoze 3, my wife and I were using a program that allowed us to talk to each other using the PC microphone jacks on windows computers. (I forget what it was called) but the only stipulation was that she needed my IP address and I hers, to put into the program and then we could talk. |

Don't know if they work on Windows XP, but Reddit users seem to like these two.

So, you may need to manually configure the firewall if the software doesn't automatically do that. |

My mistake appears to be in using VOIP in the search terms - enter into a land of advertising... |
