I think you'll find it is called Majic Jack.

I was looking at this for OS/2 use against my IP, but it is a Windows
application,  I think they are working to port that to Linux, but .. sigh
.. OS/2 ain't so familiar to whatever.

However, if you wanted to use VMWare for a Windows application under OS/2
or somehow Linux when that gets to whatever, I'd guess you could do it that
way.  Virtually all of the DSL & Cable service stuff here at College
Station, Texas, is around USD $29 a month for totally unlimited POTS calls
where ever you want to go.
