Seen the infomercial after my friend told me about it yesterday.

$40 USB connector for a broadband PC/mac-to-standard phone line. Call anywhere, anytime with normal phone plus extra features for $20 yr.

Inventor was an AOL communication guy, who now came up with this using his own network (thru Canada, I believe) called "YMAX" (that name's soon going to be confusing for a lot of people!).

Looks like the phone companies are going to join the smoldering heap of print shops, newspapers and film companies soon enough in the digital revolution.
