I just found out about this thing called cuphone!   http://store.yahoo.com/cuphone/index.html

They let you setup a gateway at home where you can call in from anywhere in the world, using their software.  I have unlimited long distance service, so I can actually call in from my school using my laptop, and make unlimited long distance calls through my phone line!  If the voice quality is really good with their USB phone hardware, I can let my friends call from my laptop to anywhere in the US, provided they buy me lunch.   This is a good way to put POTS to work.
