Default PC-to-PC calling with MSN

I just used PC-to-PC voice calling through MSN for the first time and was a little disappointed that there was some crackling on the line. I used earphone to eliminate any feedback from my speakers and I adjusted the volumes but couldn't improve it much.

I'm trying to set it up so that I can have clear voice to voice conversations. Is there a trick I'm missing or should I use some other software?

I have never heard anyone on MSN. I presume it would be a bit slow and stuttering like live webcam images, where people's lipsync is delayed(it seems as if you are watching a dubbed/ subtitled foreign film), and their physical actions look like animation in old cartoon films Technology has not improved well enough yet, I think.

Use Skype, free PC to PC, very inexpensive for foreign calls and perfect signal even with video.

I've used this a couple of times. Thought it was fine.
A bit strange though, sitting minding my own business and msn was in the background, all of a sudden this voice sounded. I nearly $hit myself
Was a good conversation with a good friend, can't say I noticed if it was crappy or not, I was fascinated
