Does this have anything to do with wireless? Probably not, but it's
an interesting question while I'm waiting for Windoze to convert FAT32
into NTFS.

I use Skype and GizmoProject. I don't care much about audio quality.
I don't really want to talk to anyone on the phone. Email works much
better. If I must, I don't want the call to take too long. Strange
noises, distortion, garble, and such are actually desireable as they
automatically limit the call duration.

Unfortunately, both Skype and GizmoProject have been fairly reliable
and good quality, so I've been forced to pre-distort my voice and
mangle the traffic quality. I allocate the absolute minimum bandwidth
possible in my routers for these services using QoS. If that doesn't
trash the audio, I sometimes decide that it's time to run a Windoze,
Java, Mozilla, Linux, or whatever update. That usually generates
enough network traffic to trash the audio. Whatever the method, my
conversations tend to be short and specific, which is something that
never happens on my cell phone or real POTS line. I've asked both
Skype and GizmoProject for a feature request to intentionally add
distortion, garble, and dropouts, but since they're in the business of
selling minutes, such call limiting features are deemed undesireable.

Jeff, you're wasting your time with Skype and GP, you need Packet 8. I
promise you won't be disappointed
