VOIP in the sense of PC to PC, yes.
VOIP in the sense of vontage or one of the other VOIP to phone services, no.

If you're using PC to PC voip, such as using teamspeak or ventrilo to talk to a friend or a group of friends, the quality of the audio will need to be set to one of the low bandwidth codecs.

how do i do that? i am completely new to this.

If you're completly new to this, i'd suggest trying to use voice features on programs such as MSN, Yahoo, or whatever. They're a little less intimidating. And since you're on dialup, I don't think you'd want to host the server files for either teamspeak or ventrilo. It would eat what little bandwidth you have.

the free voice calls at voip.com dont need high bandwidth. in fact you wont need your pc at all. you may want to check it out. tell me what you think about it.

VoIP is gradualy getting very popular. For VoIP to VoIP you can not have Dial-Up but a mininum of 512/512 connection hope this helped.
