When hanging out with friends online (and when doing something else such that we don't need video) I've been using Mumble for voice chat. Not sure about the other "gaming" voice chat software as I haven't really used it, but I've found Mumble's latency at least to be miles ahead of the videoconferencing software I've had to use for work. Makes me wish I could have work meetings there, honestly. An old POTS landline would be nice too, but my understanding is a lot of landlines now are basically VoIP anyway.

>> but my understanding is a lot of landlines now are basically VoIP anyway. Yeah I think you're right. VOIP and landline and probably one and the same these days, and as long as whatever voice application you use doesn't use excessive compression or any added complexity, or route you halfway around the world, you've prob got landline quality.
