I tried skype, I like the program. But one big flaw: It's not dial up friendly. Is there a way I can go around this? Because I can hear others clearly but I'm choppy it's not funny. Someone help?

Not much you can do unless you get high speed, dude.

I can't afford high speed. Gotta understand I'm not 'that' rich.

I know...high speed is expensive. Wish there was some way I could help you hon. Even if you could get high speed light, which is uaually just a few more bucks than dialup, Skype might work better.

I've used skype to talk to a diol up user and it works fine. I guess it depends on your speed.
