    TOR-TEL:
    The TOR (The Onion Router) Telephone Network

    This is on the list of projects to work on for the PHATstar.org. The idea is to use very efficient encoding of telephone conversations over the TOR
    network. The system would be internal to the TOR network (not needing to
    exit to the plain web. P* is in possession of a gigabit connected server at
    a server farm and it is intended to be used to beta-test the service once the technology has been created. That might not be for quite some time, but as long as the technology has SOCKS proxy support it can be done now. I just don't know of any current internet phone services that offer proxying. If
    you know of any such service please write me back. Imagine turning on TAILS (the amesiac incognito live system) (booting from it) and beind able to talk
    to anyone in the world for free and securely. The governments of the world would definitely work to suppress this, but it would be made open-source
    GPL'd code, hosted from outside of the USA, so it might one day work. Our server is based in the USA so it won't be hosting this. Its something to
    think about as it will be a game changer. "TOR-TEL: The World's Most Secure Telephone Network."

    Sounds great, but my experiences with TOR have been pretty marginal - packet loss and long ping times. What codecs work with extremely low-bandwidth connections?

    That's been going from me <->TOR<->WWW. Maybe staying within TOR would result in better connectivity if you don't have to exit the network?
