(BTW, VOIP is getting pretty darn popular here in Japan, mostly due to
the high cost of phone calls. (Even local phone calls are metered, and
they can be more expensive than long distance calls in the U.S.) Most
DSL providers will now provide VOIP service, and give you a modem/router
that includes a standard analogue phone jack. 24 Mbps DSL + VOIP runs
something less than US$60/month.)
