Internet Historians

[Fritzo]

This site was one of the first to offer free calls over the Internet (circa 2000-2001). It worked over dialup connections- you would basically type in a phone number on the page, it would dial, and you could talk over your head set and mic. It got pretty popular, then disappeared when they started charging.

This was way before Skype and Vonage...any ideas?

Bingo! I used to use it, it seemed exotic at the time. I seem to remember a simple graphic of a -- guess what? -- phone dialpad on the page that you could use with a mouse to input your number, too.
