A me too on the computer-to-phone! I've received calls from a Skype
user in England. It's an exercise in futility to try to have a
conversation computer-to-phone, however, computer-to-computer seemed
to work well (of course, I've only used it once).
iChat AV is another great one. The voice quality was significantly
better than what I experienced with Skype and it's fully Mac
compatible (of course, both sides of the conversation need Macs ;-).
