[clug] VOIP advice

[Chris Smart]

It's time for me to jump on the VOIP bandwagon.. does anyone have any advice?

I intend to use Ekiga for PC -> PC and figured I may as well get a
calling out card through their partner http://www.diamondcard.us - but
I've no idea who they are or whether I should.

Has anyone does such a crazy thing before? :)

Also, while I'm on the topic, does anyone use a physical phone to
connect to a VOIP provider? And if I got one, could I connect to any
VOIP provider, i.e. diamondcard.us?

Thanks!!
