What about SIP stuff? I've never actually used in H.323 stuff, so I'll 
see if I can have a play around at the weekend. With H.323, could I 
think to myself, "I'm gonna call Aq" and then click your name, or 
something, and - if your PC's on - get you?

Has anyone seen BT Broadband Voice? It's a rip off but the start of mass 
market VOIP to normal phone in the UK. Strangely, they're aiming the 
service at Telewest customers but not offering them any real price benefit.
