Totally agree, MSN has been BAD (I doubt its Aztech or Linksys) for more then 6 months now - it's so hard to connect and it wont sustain a conversation; SKYPE on the other hand is simply marvelous! -g

Its P2P technology, so users hardly use SKYPE's resources, unlike MSN. 2. Their revenue model is charging users for calls made to regular phones, at discounted rates using VOIP on what they call 'Skype Out'. -g
