I don't see why there couldn't be a IIgs internet telephony program.

It should even be possible (with a little hacking) to use a //e
as a simplex internet telephony system. (cassette ports & amplifier)

The requirement for a //e, however, is that there be some type of host
program that it would work with.  Maybe I'll have to dust off the //e
and try it... I've got the ApplEar code around from Computist yet,
so it shouldn't be impossible.  hmmm.... this is increasingly
intriguing.
