Pros: free, evolving GUI
Cons: doesn't work, bombs, vox quality ranks near bottom

This should be a basic internet telephony/communications program. It is, after all, free. I have now suffered through several 'updates' and improvements, and it all essentially bites. The premise is wonderful... chat, voice mail, and text mail your...
