yes, skype works good. I'm sure ebay wouldn't have paid loads and loads of money to buy them out if it didn't work!
I have skype on my k-jam and did try it via wifi a couple of times

Dialup should be fine it it lets you choose different codecs since you can always goto something a little lower quality, I would say at a minimum though you're looking at a 128 or 256k broadband connection.
On both of those I was able to use Teamspeak absolutly fine as well as netmeeting and really these programs like skype and the sony one are just newer versions of something thats been about for a long time. 
@sk:
Who would use them? Lots of people. Just because a music company puts a rootkit on a cd doesn't mean every single piece of software on the internet is infected |
