I would think VoIP, voice over IP. Yes, often they require an external server, when using SIP, to find one another. The server doesn't need to handle the conversation, just helps finding one another and traverse the router/NAT when people are on dynamic internet addresses.
But if you happen to know the IP address of the other side you can directly initiate the conversation, I think it was with Ekiga. I don't have hardware now to try and tell you the application and the function that does it. But with NAT in the mix, things get more complicated.
The IP addresses are known. I wanted to avoid SIP as each system would require a registration.
With Ekiga, apparently you can do client-to-client calls too, without a SIP account.
