Review (in 1996):

Your Macintosh could soon be "ringing off the hook" with this software in hand. NetPhone enables most Mac users with a microphone and a Net connection to place calls to other NetPhone users across the world, and talk as long as they like for no extra cost (beyond the cost of your Net account). You can get a free online demo of the software to believe it for yourself. Audio quality varies; you probably won't hear a pin drop (sometimes it's more like a faraway AM radio station).

For fun, you can visit "NetPubs", where NetPhone users gather to shoot the breeze. In our travels so far, this is the best effort we've found to creatively integrate Web sites with the Internet phone calling concept. Of course, several others are in the works.

As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
