I haven't heard anything too nasty about it. (Actually haven't heard
anything bad about it)
Have you looked at just rolling your own VoIP though?
Heck if you wanted to you could both just use MSN to talk (though I
suspect thats out for other reasons ;->). There are VMware based VoIP
servers out there that you can just drop on a box and have a full PABX
if thats your desire. Or you could use ekiga or some other such, open a
port or 2 and have direct VoIP with no servers at all. If your internet
connections are up to it you can get better than landline quality calling.
