%T   "The Internet Telephone Toolkit"
 
Internet telephony is still pretty much of a toy, but interest in it is growing
all the time.  (It is also a very intriguing demonstration of the
inefficiencies of current phone systems, but we'll let that go for the moment.) 
Jeff Pulver, as moderator of the "Free-World-Dialup" mailing list, is in an
excellent position to give an introduction to the field, and he does a great
job.
 
As well as explaining the concepts, background, functions, and limitations of
Internet telephony, Pulver provides a thorough review of a number of net phone
software packages.  The disk included with the book provides some of these
packages so you can try them for yourself.
