it seems it would be cheaper to just guy a T-1 line they have them in Hawaii,  Sat time starts at 1 buck a minute.

Do you mean like a phone call, or PC to PC call.  Either way you can download Skype, http://www.skype.com/ which is a VOIP application and will allow you to make either PC to PC calls or PC to phone calls though only PC to PC calls are free and there is a small fee for PC to Phone calls.  You can download the software from Skype for free and version 2.0 beta includes the ability to make video calls.\n\nAs I said, PC to land line or cell phones cost a small fee so if you wanted you can purchase the Skype starter kit from RadioShack which gets you a USB Skype handset, the software and a 30 minute prepaid Skype calling card, http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2160389&cp=&kw=skype&parentPage=search

Use VOIP software.  You can download Skype software for free and call other computers for free but there is a small fee if you want to call land line or cell phones.  RadioShack has a starter Skype VOIP kit which includes the software, a USB VOIP handset and a 30 minute calling card so you can call regular phones.  The Skype kit is $40.

yes you can - if you get a router - either cable or modem - depending on ISP - you can then set it up as a local DHCP server, and will then be able to get to the internet on any kit connected

yes it is possible, but the mobile phone should be GPRS OR 3G ENABLED or UMTS enabled, u can do it by changing the proxy configurations settings on the mobile phone and or on the computer in which it is being used.

No i dont, however if you have a internet capable mobile see www.skype.com as an option for downloading to the phone.\nthe software is free to use. however on a mobile you would pay the data transfer rate your operator set for standard internet access.\nyou could always try www.majorgeek.com to see if there is anything listed on there suitable for the job.

Yes,but you can not be online,and talk at the same time.\nThe phone cord from the jack goes to the port "line",your\ntelephone goes to the port "phone".I am making an\nassumption that you are on dial-up internet access.

Easy answer is NO\n\nYou may try to build VPN to other computer where you have full access, but it won't be easy.
