Speak Freely allows users of a variety of Unix and Unix-like machines
equipped with audio hardware connected by a network to converse, using
the audio input and output facilities of the system to digitise and
later reconstruct the sound and the network to relay sound packets.
Optional compression is provided, allowing conversations over relatively
low-bandwidth Internet links as well as local area networks.  The
technology is based on the digital celular phone compression technology.
