Jeff Pulver, voice-over-IP impressario, has announced free computer-to-telephone calling to numbers in the US and Canada (and, it appears, also to Israel and the U.K.) for the holidays. To take advantage of this, you need to sign up for sign up for FreeWorld Dialup (free) and install an IP telephony application like X-Lite (also free).
