Although I could make calls and it worked, the lag was 20 or 30 seconds sometimes (from my speaking to the other's hearing me), so that it was impossible to carry on a conversation; always trying to figure out what we were talking about, never coherent. This was in my pre-Linux days, before 2006 or so. I was trying phone over internet since at least 2000. Then smartphones took off, and I like the convenience of carrying a phone in my pocket, just not some other things that they do. And I could connect my phone to my computer, transfer files back and forth, etc., but could not use my smartphone over my computer's internet connection. Now I see linphone can be installed on an Android? Not sure how it works, but I'm willing to give it a go. Looks like I might need to find that old headphone/microphone combo, and get some more attachments for the laptop. Bill
