I am looking for an internet communications software that can allow PC
to PC/MAC communications for free. Services like Net2phone allow pc-pc
only calls, no mac. I like net2phone's ability to call land based
telephones, however, this is not compeletly what I'm looking for in
that I would like to be able to talk for free using just the internet
to connect to other systems. A hardware solution would be acceptable
as long as the actual connection times were free.

Thank you.

Clarification of Question by buliwyf-ga on 20 Aug 2002 08:42 PDT

I didn't ask a question I just realized.. 

So..

What software is available for PC/MAC - PC/MAC internet voice communications.

In my experience, you will have the best luck with cross-platform
voice/video conference software.  Happily, you are not required to
enable the video, allowing you to communicate with voice only, if you
like.  CU-SeeMe was once the the long-time favorite in this arena,
however, they appear to have dropped support for the Macintosh.  If
you can find old versions of the software, that may be of interest. 
Ivisit has received some excellent reviews and, importantly, Ivisit
does not require you to first connect to a reflector or server when
communication is between two computers.  Given the price (free), I
would suggest trying Ivisit first, and see if it meets your needs.  If
everyone you talk to has a Yahoo account, you might also consider
Yahoo Messenger, which now includes voice and video chat features.

Ivisit:  Receives great reviews for audio fidelity and is a free
download

Clearphone:  You purchase a conference kit, then calls are free
