iTalk doesn't yet support conference calling, or encrypted calling, and doesn't have the Skype missed calls list, but other than that appears to be a functional clone of Skype. It's also a bit more standards based, in that it supports H.323, rather than a proprietary signalling protocol, but it uses a proprietary codec, which makes that somewhat moot. Voice quality is similar to Skype, which is to say very good, but I don't know how well it will handle dial-up. The codec seems to be some kind of a learning codec, in that quality improved over the duration of the call. MSN messenger is the same way.
